The Pure Land

I've read a lot of bad books in my time. With such a huge appetite for reading, I have no doubt I will run into many books that just don't do it for me. This was one of them.

The Pure Land, by Alan Spence, is one of the most boring books I've read in a very long time. It's a rather large book and I had high expectations simply because most of the books I've read on the Asian culture are really gut-wrenching and superb.

This one is about a man named Glover, who leaves Scotland for Japan as a young man and goes to make his fortune. The beginning starts out interestingly enough, but the more I read the more bored I got. I got so bored, in fact, that I couldn't even force myself to read the final 30 pages.

I have no idea how the book ends, and I can't say I really care.
