It was great 35 years ago

This book feels incredibly dated. It follows the story of a 'modern day ninja' living in NY, and jumps around in history. Given that it was written in the early 80's, by the current author of the 'Jason Bourne' series, it references a lot of history that doesn't ring with the current generation. Lots of references to WWII and japan post and pre the war. Unnecessary sex scenes. References to 'ninja magic'. It took me a month to get through this, and normally i'd cover a book like this in under a week.
