Because of this book, I am probably going to make an effort to visit the Ruppongi District if I ever visit Japan. Digusted? I hope so, because I plan on getting disgusted too.

I liked Bringing Down the House, but I don't know if I really cared that much about the guy in the end. They sounded like frat boy jerks. Like I don't see enough of that on a Friday night around town. Only they have more money. ho hum. Entertaining, but sadly, cliched.
