Insightful and Funny - well worth the read !
10 Mar 2007
Format:Hardcover
Simon May sheds light on various aspects of the Japanese character with elegant simplicity.
Having read dozens of books on the subject, I can attest that Atomic Sushie is one of the best I've read. May's intelligent prose is succinct, often hilarious and always entertaining.
Brilliant stuff.

Entertaining but superficial
25 July 2006
Format:Hardcover
A British professor with no special knowledge of Japan goes there for a year and tells you what happened, and how it is.
Japan Unbound by John Nathan offers much more. I also liked The Japanese by Peter Tasker
