Got new book rack at home that need to be filled, or rather already filled with my old novels and some liquer bottles (only one opened). And suddenly there's a rush of interest for me to buy and read new books.
So began the 'crusade' of buying new books. Got some by James Rollins' Sigma Force series and one book that excited me the most is 'Sifu' by my no.1 favorite writer, Mr. Khoo Keng-Hor.
Following paragraph is my review I wrote on MPH online bookstore.
The story of Mao Dong Po, who witness the murder of his father by an overzealous British Officer who was determine to root out all communist and those who help the communist. From this on he wanted to take revenge for his father.
After his family moved to Padang Besar to live with his uncle, he met a man, his 'Sifu', that will shape his future to become an assassin.
For those who read the author's previous novels (Taikor, Mamasan, Nanyang) will feel 'at home' again when we're met with some of the most important characters in Khoo Kheng-Hor 'universe'. Although they only played small part within this novel, it does set the stories in motion. And how the story entangled to the previous novels (especially 'Taikor'), it will make you think, "ah.. this is what actually happened."
I highly recommended this book as a Must-Read. For those who follow Khoo Kheng-Hor and haven't read it yet, go and buy it. Worth every penny!! And hopefully more to come from the 'Taikor' universe!
Quite a review for a first-time reviewer. I'm not proud of it since I feel I can write bettet review thsn that. The problem is my vocabulary is limited. Guess I need go learn how to write reviews and read more books!
More stories to come.
