Авторът е събрал много информация по въпросите, свързани с шинтоизма. Отлична помощ за изследователи на темата.
Самият стил на автора ме отблъсна доста. Бидейки пълнокръвен британец, за него явно е невъзможно да не гледа на останалите народи като на простаци и диваци. Второто със сигурност е едно от любимите му определения. Един учен не би следвало да се изказва по подобни начини, но явно в началото на 20. век британците все още са били "Къде съм аз, къде си ти".

Няма информация от какъв език е преведена тази книга на български, но като че ли не е от оригинален английски. Изобилства от технически грешки, характерни за случаите, когато някой силно вярва, че руският и българският са абсолютно идентични.

The book offers an informative description of Shinto as understood in the early 20th Century. While the book was generally interesting, my only complaint is that, at some points, Aston goes off on a tangent explaining his theories on, for example, how religious systems come about, how certain beliefs are formed, etc., and while these, too, were interesting to read, they sometimes abandoned the discussion on Shinto to the point where in two or three chapters, he hardly mentions Shinto at all. I understand that Aston is trying to have the reader better understand the concepts he's putting forth in regard to Shinto, but these points could really have been trimmed down and summarized better so that the chapter entitled "Myth" could be more "Shinto Myth" than myth in general. Even with these instances, however, the book is very interesting and informative.
