Tune In Tokyo: The Gaijin Diaries Audiobook

" I laughed a bunch. "

" The first half had me laughing and not wanting to put it down. The second half dragged. "

" Can you say culture shock? I did enjoy this book because he has some interesting insights. "

" Loved it! I laughed out loud more than once. I give them a solid recommendation if you are looking for a light, amusing read. "

" Truly a gaijin's story. Too much altered states for my taste. Not as much of traditional Japan as I had hoped. He seems to spend most of his time with other ex pats. Some interesting stuff like addresses "

" love love loved "

" Having been in Tokyo, I could appreciate many of the things Mr. Anderson is talking about and there were some very funny and interesting situations. I just get bugged by the language. I managed to stay in Japan without using his favorite word at all, so I know it's possible. "

" liked his conversational writing style. lots of LOL moments. "

" This was lighthearted and funny. I don't usually find myself laughing out loud at books, but this one got me giggling. A good quick read for someone who doesn't mind profanity. "

" Generally amusing account of an American man teaching English in Japan. A little reminiscent of Sedaris' habit of self-deprecation, but not derivative. Gets good humor out of cultural differences without overtly mocking. I enjoyed it as a light read. "

" Interesting diary of the author's two years spent teaching English in Tokyo. This probably won't really appeal to anyone who hasn't spent some time there but nevertheless, a funny take on life as a foreigner in that great city. "

" Climb aboard the Tim-sensei express in this uneven, skin-deep take on the author's ESL teaching stint in Japan. Not an especially endearing portrait of the country -- or the author for that matter -- but not without a few really good belly laughs. "

" This was a really fun read and I enjoyed Anderson's witty writing style. "

" Very funny and I highly reccomend it to anybody interested in funny memoirs or Japan. "

" This made me smile and laugh and want to go back to Japan. "

" A funny, irreverant chronicle of an American gay man's experience living in Japan. His endless sarcasm and self-concious cleverness get a bit tiring, but a fun read overall. "

" Fun! I enjoyed the way it was written, it made me laugh out loud. It also made me want to visit another country to get my mojo/groove/magic back. :) "

" Breezy, witty, and brimming with snarky self-deprecating humor. "

" I found this fun to read, one man's personal observations about the people, culture, and zaniness of Japan. It paints a vivid picture, marred somewhat by the author's juvenile antics and obsessions and his somewhat superficial experiences. "

" This one was okay. Funny in parts. It also felt like it was dragging in other parts as well. If you're curious about the not so talked about every day of Japan, try to give it a read. "

" This book was good enough I guess, but IMO it didn't live up to the promises made on the jacket. Didn't get that many revelations about life in Japan and more than I wanted about the author's flaming homosexuality. "

" Some really funny parts and some not so funny. "

" I usually don't go for memoirs but this book blew me away due to it's humor and the author's brutal honesty with himself. Loved loved loved it!!!! "

" Amusing and interesting observations/experiences. "

" This was a very inexpensive Kindle book and it had me literally laughing out loud in places. It's stories about a gay, sarcastic, southern American and his adventures in Tokyo teaching Japanese folks to speak English. Definitely worth checking out. "

" One of my first e-books, I purchased it because I stayed a week in Tokyo and the positive reviews it received. Nothing exceptional, funny at times, but a bit disappointing towards the end. I did enjoy some segments specially the parts about how a westerner is perceived in Tokyo. "
