Review: I tried to buy it twice

I found the book description for this intriguing and kept coming back to it...in the end, I gave in and bought it. Then I fell asleep. The next morning, it caught my eye again and I tried to buy it again, only to discover I already had. It's one of those stories that just sticks in your mind - or at least it did in mine.The incredible amount of detailed research that's clear throughout the book was fascinating, without bogging down the story with unnecessary detail or description. I admit the action or rapid conversation sometimes proceeded so fast it confused me on occasion, but it didn't stop me enjoying Moonlight Dancer immensely. It probably helped that I have a particular interest in that period of Japanese history, so their invasion of Korea from a Korean perspective was quite refreshing.While I didn't buy this book twice, I'm delighted I did buy it, so I can read it again.
