Negative Positive
Title: A book about young Japanese women being 'catty'.
Review: I had read/heard a lot about this book. As with most books that are heavily 'hyped'....it failed to be as good as expected. The main character, Sayuri, is quite self-centred....those around her share this characteristic....and they ALL seemed to be bent on 'getting' each other....why this is interesting I have NO idea. It occurs in ALL cultures...has since the beginning of time...and will continue to DO so. Give it a miss. You'll likely do better reading something ELSE about Japan.
