Book Reviews of Tokyo Vertigo
Book Review: . . . What?
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought this book was going to be about the underbelly of Tokyo. Boy was I wrong. The book is only the means for the author to vomit out verbose convoluted phrases on his perceptions on yhe different districts in Tokyo. There is absolutely no information on these districts.He treats them more like living things that suck away the lives of their inhabitants. That is fine, but why is that? The author never answeres this. He seems to be the type that likes listening to himself use big words repeatedly. Well he does that here, but writes them not speak them. The only good quality the book has is a decent description of the work by choreographer/dancer Tatsumi Hijikata. Don't read this book it is a waste of time and energy.
