"[Clavell] holds attention with a relentless grip. 'Tai-Pan' frequently is crude. It is grossly exaggerated much of the time. But seldom does a novel appear so stuffed with imaginative invention, so packed with melodramatic action, so gaudy and flamboyant with blood and sin, treachery and conspiracy, sex and murder."
Orville Prescott, New York Times
Review:"[A] belly-gutting, god-rotting typhoon of a book....Its narrative pace is numbing, its style deafening, its language penny dreadful....It isn't art and it isn't truth. But its very energy and scope command the eye."
Time, 1966
