## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Wonderful Book!
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2013*

This book is really great for me. It's more difficult than the Read Real Japanese series that I got a little while ago and have been reading every day since. It doesn't have a dictionary nor does it have great grammar explanations like the RRJ series does, but I love the stories and I find this a very exciting book to read. I'm very happy that I chose to get this.

    Great for the intermediate Japanese learner
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019*

This book is quite good for someone wanting to start breaking into Japanese literature. The stories are written in natural Japanese rather than the more academic kind often found in textbooks and the authors are well known in the literary world. However, a warning for intermediate students - for most, it will require extensive use of a dictionary and many new words, at least initially. However, the material, though hard is accessible and will do wonders for your language acquisition efforts. I recommend reading this text with a tutor such as one you might find on Wizant. Ganbatte ne!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very interesting and entertaining stories
  

*by I***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2013*

For students with an advanced knowledge of Japanese, this provides very interesting and entertaining stories to read. The English translation is generally helpful, but the author could be a little more thoughtful about the explanations he gives in his notes. While most are good, some seem overly simplistic or irrelevant. More importantly, he could have been a little more generous in explaining the origins of Japanese adopted foreign words (gairaigo).
