About the Author
Rei Kimura started her professional training as a lawyer. From the age of fifteen, she started to write poetry and short stories for the sheer love of it. She is currently associated with the Australian News Syndicate and finds great challenge in writing about unique personalities and events. Her first book was a biography of the controversial Peruvian Japanese President, Alberto Fujimori entitled “Alberto Fujimori of Peru-The President Who Dared to Dream.” From there, she wrote another true and tragic story of the legendary Tojin Okichi who was forced to serve the first American Consul to Japan, Townsend Harris in the turbulent years of the opening of Japan in the mid 1880s. The book is in digital form entitled ”Butterfly in the Wind.” “Aum Shinrikyo-Japan’s Unholy Sect” is Kimura’s latest foray into the literary world and with it, she hopes she has made some contribution, no matter how small, to the current universal need to fight terrorism in all forms so that everyone can live in peace and in safety.

This review is from: Aum Shinrikyo: Japan's Unholy Sect (Paperback)
Writing negative reviews is typically a waste of time unless the volume is so egregiously awful that serious readers should be warned away well in advance. This laughable treatment - and I use the word "treatment" advisedly - of Shoko Asahara and his Aum Shinrikyo cult is so deplorably uninformative and foolish that one wonders why any reputable publisher would have wasted precious paper and ink on it. Cobbed together with the worst sort of pseudo-journalistic sensationalism and replete with endless moronic interpolations, this sad excuse for nonfiction resembles nothing more than a cheap romance novel transmogrified onto the history shelf. Arrogantly dedicated to three of Asahara's victims, it dishonors their memory. The full account of Asahara's life and cult has yet to be penned, and this pathetic attempt to cash in on their infamy exemplifies the very dregs of petty opportunism arising from notoriety. Buy it if you are fond of pricey bird-cage liner because that's all it's good for!
