Helpful Score: 1

Hard to describe how weird this book is. I started the first chapter and it just got stranger and stranger, to the point that you can't believe the author wrote some of the personal details about his sex life, cheating on dates/girlfriends, distractions from work, and personal problems with his parents. There is a fascinating thread through the book on Japanese customs and how Andy keeps discovering that he has broken another rule or social norm, such as dressing inappropriately for a meeting, and many other problems (I don't want to give them away here for you folks that haven't read the book yet!). Found the parts on eating Sushi and Japan during WWII the best. Hope this guy gets better and that some of the stuff in the book was exaggerated...
