Ques:Title: I seem to be in the minority..... Review: I did not like Ms. Backer's book. As an American woman that lived and worked in Japan at the same time that she was there, I found her generalities and the stereotypes she portrayed very offensive. When you visit another country or culture you should be open to the fact that not everything will be done the way that you are used to. It doesn't mean that it is wrong, it is just different. The three years I spent in a small town near Hiroshima hold some of the fondest memories of my life. I did not go there with an us or them attitude which seems to have been the case with Ms. Backer. Yes, she does hit some cultural issues dead on, but she also seems to carry a bitterness about her time there. I am very distressed to read that many people believe that they now "know" Japan based on what she has written. I personally got some very unsettling feelings about Ms. Backer based on what she wrote. And, by the way, she misuses many Japanese terms in the book.

Ques:Title: Prince of Frogs Review: I loved the book! It is such a sweet and romantic story (really 2 stories). I won't give away too much by saying the story is about a pediatrician, also a single parent, who adopts newborn triplets, all boys. The romance that begins is quite unexpected to "Doc" and is really a lovely story. Risa's (Doc) obvious love for children in her professional life as a pediatrician and in her personal life is very compelling. Although she will take a long leave of absence to care for her babies, she is already feeling the pull of a working mother while hoping there will be enough time for a relationship which is still very new. I wanted the story to go on much longer. I can't wait for the movie. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Ques:Title: Worthless Review: Well, I was warned about this film, but I had to waste my money at Blockbuster. If you are the type of viewer who enjoys films that make no sense, go no where, and every incident dipicted is never referred to and means absoulutely nothing to the ending, this is the film for you. This film will provoke your thoughts alright, WONDERING WHAT IN THE WORLD YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING THAT YOU ACTUALLY SPENT MONEY ON! Reviewers who claim that one needs to view the film several times in order to understand it, need to get a life. If you just want to view a good film that leaves you satisfied with the reason why certain things happened, you must go elsewhere. The only good thing I saw in this film was Nicole Kidman's dainty back side, and that only lasts a few seconds. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Ques:Title: The edges of tragedy and poetry Review: It's been too many years since I've read Golden Witchbreed and Ancient Light, but they came up in conversation somewhere and I had to look them up -- and I was surprised to see how little information there is on them, especially the latter. Please see the other reviews for better info about the books than I could provide . I will add images of the covers, however (although I don't like the cover of Ancient Light), and the comment that usually I don't like books that have a sad or tragic nature, but in this case I make an exception.
