  From yakuza run motorcycle gangs to secret corporate deals in the backrooms of Japans infamous soaphouses, Ugly Americans has everything a story could want. But what makes it amazing is the fact that it was all real.
  
  Mezrich has created a well-written and fast paced novel. His skillful blending of past and present combined with glimpses into a world where only a few people have been, create a novel of exceeding quality. I recommend it to anyone.
  
  A clash of cultures where east meets west and excess is the norm, Ugly Americans is a great ride. (Although it really makes you want to pursue a career in banking.)
