[Booth] achieved an extraordinary understanding of life as it is lived by ordinary Japanese....Frequently brilliant in his insights.-F.G. Notehelfer, The New York Times Book Review

Booth had a horror of pretension....[He] never fails to produce the whimsical anecdotes that keep the whole account down-to-earth.-Elizabeth ward, Washington Post Book World
