The Dark Side of Japanese Business

by Ikko Shimizu, Tamae K. Prindle, Ikko Shimizu

[Lyra · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was not too bad. Out of the three novellas, the second one (The Ibis Cage) was my favorite. The first, Silver Sanctuary, was fairly interesting. Out of all of them, I enjoyed the last one (Keiretsu) the least. I couldn't into that one at all. Otherwise, it was a good read.
