5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy read VERY informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Japan-Think, Ameri-Think: An Irreverent Guide to Understanding the Cultural Differences Between Us (Paperback)
The depth makes it more of a primer than a heavy duty text, but it is so very good at that job that I would recommend it as a basic read for ANYONE involved in dealing with Japanese corporations or relationships. It tells you frankly and easily just what background gives the Japanese view on life. And understanding where someone "comes from" makes so many things easier to understand.I have passed this book to countless people I know it's readable quickly and yet you'll use it as a reference for years to come. Extremely recommended!

Funny and very informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Japan-Think, Ameri-Think: An Irreverent Guide to Understanding the Cultural Differences Between Us (Paperback)
This book was great. It was one of the funniest books I've ever read and it gave a lot of important information. It really helps you *understand* the Japanese, as opposed to just hearing some information. It gives you examples of contrast between Americans and the Japanese. Anyone interested in Japan should read this book. Absoloutely beautiful.

This review is from: Japan-Think, Ameri-Think: An Irreverent Guide to Understanding the Cultural Differences Between Us (Paperback)
For those who are familiar with his "Max Danger" series of books, this is somewhat of a departure, but still with all the humor and light-heartedness of those books. In a way that is never heavy or overly serious, Bob Collins clearly and correctly highlights the differences in Japanese and American culture and society. The book is a quick read, that will often have your laughing out loud, but at the end, you will have learned a lot, especially if you are unfamiliar with the Japanese.
