Japanese hero in new English book
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I don't usually read English books but I came across "The Mystery of Yamashita's Map" by James Mckenzie. It is due to be published soon but I was able to get an advance copy from amazon. It is fantastic! The hero is Japanese and and the story left me with a good warm feeling, I felt proud. It makes a change from Japanese always being seen as the bad guys. The author has TEFL and used to teach English in HongKong so he understands our ways and culture. The book is very well written. Believe it or not, it has helped my English grammar. It must be popular in the UK as it reached No. 3 in amazon hot pre-release chart. Incidently, the author comes from Aberdeen Scotland, home of Thomas Glover. Five stars. I really liked it. ![]() |

Mmh, sounds fair.
I'd be glad to exchange languages. ^^v Welcome to JF anyway. NanteNa; 'No, I only eat the yellow ones cause I favor the Asians and am a racist like that.' <3
