Title: poorly written but interesting subject
Review: It is too bad the poor writing - from poor grammar to incorrectly used words - diminishes a very interesting subject. I could not make my way through this book due to the terrible writing. The writing hinders understanding of what the author is trying to say - sometimes causing really confusing scenes and descriptions. She needed a good editor or ghost writer to help her.The content of the book, however, is fascinating - and the author has apparently done her research into Japanese dance and culture. I would have loved to be able to read about this "floating world" but just couldn't make my way through the poorly constructed sentences and quirky, trite (if nonsensical) descriptions.Too bad.
