Customer Reviews
Excellent!!
Love the book, but it's even better listening to it!
Waste of time
One of the worst books I’ve ever read. The story telling is lazy and clunky. The Japanese theme is horribly researched and unrealistic/not believe able (I say this as someone who has lived in Japan for over 11 years). The book has a pre-teen feel, but at the same time is so patronizing, I can’t imagine an appropriate age for the material. It’s like a collection of inspirational memes, stitched together into a narrative. To make things worse, I now have a negative opinion towards the person who recommended this to me. Not sure how I’m going to tell them their reading children’s books.
Powerful message
This book is amazing and easy to read in a day. The message is meaningful and inspiring!
