I would like this book because later in life I'm considering being a businessman.

This book sounds good because it seems that the combination of culture and business reflects upon the idea of cultural diffusion in world history.

This was a well written review. However, I probably wouldn't consider reading this book because I do not enjoy reading short stories.

Not really my kind of book, but the review is well written and detailed.
It may have just changed my mind about picking up a copy.
Thanks!

This sounds interesting even though this would not normally be the genre I would seek out to read, I might have to now!

the review was clearly well thought out and made me want to rush out and get a copy. it was informative, but didn't dry it out, or reveal any spoilers, like some reviews do. lovely.

The Puk Time review was not only well written and informative, but also gave a good review of what one can expect from reading it. It seems like such an interesting read, as it captures business, history, culture of a country all in the form of short stories! What intricate work!

Great review. Having lived overseas myself for 2 years, I can really relate to the culture shock and issues that are so different from life in the west. Puk Time sounds like a very interesting, well written book, and I would love to read it myself.

The review was very great but by reading the beginning of the book and this review its almost sound like a different book. I almost didn't even want to read it. Reading the beginning of the book made it sound so much more interesting. The review made it sound like it's more of a business book but it's actually a really interesting story.

Thanks for that review. It sounds like one of those books I'd enjoy but I wouldn't necessarily go looking for. You had me with the customs and culture and Mr. John's learning experiences. I like the sound of the short story layout too. Nice review.
