Negative Positive
Title: The author knows a little bit of Japan, but never know the heart of Japanese people.
Review: I read her 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Rei Shimura series. And I could not finish reading this 4th book. From my point of view - I am a Japanese woman - , Rei Shimjura is not a half-American, half-Japanese. If this girl had a 50 % Japanese blood, she could have been a little bit nicer to Japanese citizen. Her intrusive attitude got worse and worse, so I can not share the feeling and activity of her at all. If this girl really lived in Japan with her relatives and loved ones, her attitude would have been different.No wonder her books are not popular in Japan. Her 1st and 2nd books were translated in Japanese, but not after them. Sorry Massey-san, you might have planned to sell your books in both U.S. and Japan. But Japanese people are not necessarily so fool... In your books, there are many Japanese things, but not much of Japanese heart.
