## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable
*by A***E on July 31, 2024*

This book offers a sweeping narrative of Japanese history and the lives of the extraordinary individuals who shaped this modern society. From emperors claiming lineage to the Sun Goddess to warlords, court ladies, samurai, women warriors, merchants, geisha, and businesspeople, this account reveals the diverse forces that have shaped Japan’s rich and complex past.This is an enjoyable book, giving an overview of Japan from prehistory to the modern day. I wish it had spent more time on earlier history and less on the past forty years. The book takes an anecdotal approach, which is understandable given how much time it covers in such a short book.Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

### ⭐ the narrator of the  audible book  was not good and she did not pronounce Japanese properly
*by A***T on October 27, 2024*

for Audible, the narrator is very important and it is vital that the narrator has an understanding of the subject he/she is narrating.
