Comments

Mrs. Hayley: I loved this book. I loved the individual stories, and each stood alone, but I enjoyed how they all linked together, and a character or place would pop up in a later story. I couldn't but this book down. It was definitely something new snd refreshing.

Kindle Customer: Chapters are short stories based on Japanese mythology.

Kindle Customer: I absolutely loved Smarting Up. How did women get trapped into the obligation of removing hair from their bodies in order present themselves with smooth skin? The author cleverly links the stories and characters to a mysterious company. I was very happy to find short synopses of original versions of the stories at the end of the book. These ghost stories and folk tales are witty instead of scary.

Jin: I have a soft spot for Japanese authors and I was really looking forward to read this short story collection. Even though the feminist re-telling of Japanese traditional ghost stories was refreshing, it was either sometimes too obvious or too flat to have any impact. I really liked the general atmosphere and how contemporary Japan was well portrayed using the Japanese ghost figures. The gender disparity, the focus on outward appearance of women and the indifference towards oneself and others are the main subjects of this book. Some stories were really good and entertaining (i.e. "Smartening up") and some of them were too plain, explaining too much. This book is ok for lovers of Japanese literature.

AAR: I might have gotten more out of it if I was familiar with the original stories this booking was reimagining. However despite that, I found this book interesting and, at times, downright delightful.

Reader: Very fine service - highly recommended!

AJ: Interesting modern take on traditional Japanese folktales. As you get into the latter half of the stories, they begin to come together loosely as a kind of almost novel. The book touches on heavy themes of violence, critiques of social norms and death with surprising lightness. Highly readable. Would recommend.
