Title: Too many mistakes, poor research skill
Review: I'm a native Japanese. I've read about a third of this book and already found three major mistakes on Japanese culture. I'm not familiar with other cultures that he mentioned in the book, but just have to wonder how accurate they could be. Being a UCLA professor, I assume he could easily confirm the information with the native Japanese people, but he obviously didn't. Since his cultural understanding is so questionable and even childish, I don't think this book is worth reading.
