Negative Positive
Title: Poorly researched and lacking insight.
Review: The author seems to have taken a slip-shod approach to some subjects. Certain areas of the work clearly reveal a lack of research without intellectual curiousity on the part of the author to present a balanced viewpoint. Assertions are made without support or footnotes. Much of the information is dated and does not reflect current conditions in Japanese society. The major crime here is presenting a stereotyped view of a culture which is more complex than the author would have the reader believe.
