Who Is Mr Satoshi? by Jonathan Lee

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This has some good moments after a bit of a shaky start. Quite reminiscent of Lost In Translation in some ways. The author's no Haruki Murakami but I had the impression he was quite up to speed on contemporary Japan and setting the novel there, as a way of taking the protagonist out of his (dis)comfort zone, was effective and believable. The plot of an unhappy man coming to a greater understanding of himself and the world has kind of been done before but don't let that spoil your enjoyment of this novel which is definitely worth a go.
