It's highly recommendable. I mean, it's obviously dealing with religion, and God's silence is the main question of novel, but I wouldn't call it overly religious. Hell, I'm not religious and I loved the novel. But for someone like RUS, who isn't able to relate to people believing in God, it's probably a frustrating experience. But it's a great story about 17th century missionaries in Japan and a look at how far the missionaries are willing to go for their faith. The overall plot is really interesting too. You have to remember that this was a time in Japan where people were tortured and killed for being Christian, so following the missionaries in Japan is quite nerve-wrecking and brutal at times. And Neeson's character is based on a real person, so if you're interested in history, that makes it even better.

That seems really random. Seems like an odd cast, but you haven't criticized anyone, so that's good, I guess.

I remember he was a big deal when he was young, bit of a hit with the ladies, but didn't notice him around much in recent years.
Just read that he is trying to be a reggae singer now, called 卍Line (Manji Line)

You should definitely read it then. It's not very long either. Around 200 pages.

The plot sounds interesting enough.
@Post Ironic are you familiar with the Dr. Mabuse films? Why every time a new list of best directors come up Lang is always overlooked? His work paved the way for so much that came after. Truly genius.
