The Three

A lot of the other negative reviews have covered what I didn't like about this book - the lack of incident, the multiple POVs leading to a lot of padding and redundancy, the terribly cliched depiction of religious Americans - but it is also worth highlighting that this is one of the worst evocations of contemporary Japan I have come across. It doesn't appear that the author has done anything more than speed read a few articles on the Internet and picked up on a few buzzwords like freeter. Very disappointing.
