Title: A real surprise!
Product review: I guess I have to admit that my image of Japanese culture is rather off. When I think of Japan the last things that come to mind are junkies, crime, and moral bankruptcy. I can't say this book has made me feel any better about anything, but it has shown me that the sort of problems infecting America today are common elsewhere too. If I had to compare this book to anything else, I'd say the author is close to Brett Easton Ellis in his dry, morbid, clinical description of some rather unsavory, unsympathetic, and generally unpleasant characters. I recommend it only for those who are willing to learn from the mistakes of others.
