A few funny tidbits and entertaining anecdotes, but also a lot of complaining and whining. It’s not really effective travel writing, as Dave Barry (self admittedly) doesn’t know or appreciate much about Japan, and it’s not too effective as comedy writing, as there’s too much complaining, rather than jokes. Not a terrible book, but not Dave Barry’s finest work.
