Rohmer's writing is engaging and full of vivid descriptions, making the action-packed plot come alive. The island setting adds a sense of exotic adventure, creating a perfect backdrop for the fast-paced story. The suspense keeps readers on the edge of their seats, with unexpected twists and high stakes throughout.
Fu Manchu is a fascinating and cunning villain, always staying one step ahead of his enemies. His intelligence and ruthlessness make him a memorable character that drives the story forward.
However, it's important to mention that the book reflects the racial and cultural views of the early 20th century, which can be offensive today. The portrayal of Fu Manchu and other characters includes stereotypes that were common at that time. Readers should be aware of this historical context when reading the novel.
