Not altogether bad if you're looking for the written equivalent of one of the mindless detective shows that fill most television line-ups these days. Pacing and plotting pretty much mirrors that of radio dramas of the time. I can't fault it for lacking depth if depth was not what was called for, but I can't say it's really what I'd hoped either.

Sherlock Holmes, but not quite as clever. Ok for a brief diversion, but more pulp than classic. The chronicler is even a doctor. In 21st century terms could be considered racist, probably also when it was written! Don't take it too seriously.

Some nice ideas and devices - chemical and biological weapons - for example. (

Despite being the first in the series it seems to contain everything one expects from a Fu Manchu story. Although some of the mysteries turn out a little lame. (

Holy crap, is this racist! I hope I'll be forgiven for having begun to read it. Coupling virulent racism with an implausibly incomprehensible story makes for bad reading. Perhaps a better story might have kept me reading despite the racism. Perhaps without the racism I'd have been able to keep wading through the poorly plotted story. But in this case, it's two strikes and you're out! (

I thought I would give a Fu Manchu audiobook a go after finding the Christopher Lee films reasonably entertaining.

Was it originally written in weekly episodes for a pulp magazine? That's what it appears to be - there is no real objective or conclusion to the novel, it is just a collection of chase, capture, escape ...

Harrison, the reader, has a pleasant voice, but there was nothing about the tale to grab the attention. Give me Bulldog Drummond, any day! (
