Title: couldn't get past her negativity
Product review: I just read the title at the library and picked it up, thinking it would be interesting to get her perspective. I grew up in the midwest and am now living in Japan. However, after reading the first chapter and the first page of the second chapter, I couldn't go on. She comes across as a strongly negative person who can find something to complain about everyone and everything. As other reviewers said, it's clear she hasn't gotten over her mother's death and distant relationships in childhood. With all the other books out there, I didn't want to waste time reading about one woman's baggage disguised as cultural commentary.
