review 1: Okay I knew this would be quality writing having read other work by Jennifer Griffith but to be honest, I never thought I could be interested in a book about a fat guy and sumo wrestling. When I dive into a book to be taken away, those are not my first choices for escape. That said and my shallowness now exposed, let me just say, I loved this book! It was hilarious in places, gut wrenching in others- not a fat joke I swear- and so involving that I forgot it was about a fat guy. Many of us can relate to being out of shape, over weight- please not that bad- and being on the outside watching everyone pass you by. Not many can relate to the kind of internal struggle, and fortitude it took for Buck to overcome his total life collapse. This is a great story and well worth t... morehe read- it will take you away and you won't be sorry!
review 2: Big in Japan is a fun and fast paced book. You can't help loving Buck because it's nice to have somebody whose just so gosh darn nice all the time, no matter what. Plus getting to see Japan in an everyday life sort of setting is very interesting. I loved the romance between Buck and Chocho and the wonderful characters that Buck interacts with throughout the book. This is a fun and interesting read! less
