Title: A very amusing tale of Japan...
Product review: Ms. Horn has spent 5 years in Japan, and relates her personal experiences there. Her personal point of view is very evident in the book - as a vegetarian, she describes a very special meals friends had invited her to, and as a pet lover, she describes the Japaneses' treatments of animals. This personal point of view can be a great bonus, but on the other hand has its drawbacks for those who are looking for a more accurate story about Japan. I really enjoyed this personalized point of view, since I'm Israeli and could easily see what Ms. Horn thought was funny, strange or disturbing. Someone who is not fimiliar with the Israeli attitude towards things might not have this full understanding of the author's point of view.
