4.5
I've been following Chris on YouTube for a few years and as I have lived in Japan for two Years of my life this book was very much exciting to me.
I loved reading about Chris' experiences over the years and the different people he encountered and formed bonds with.
There were some things and places I had never heard of and would like to see or experience now. Also some I will avoid.
It was also great to see someone having some similar experiences to me.
A lot of humor but also depth can be found in this book and this makes it friendly and approachable.
Reading about someone's life really can be quite enjoyable.
Rating biographies feels weird and I planned on giving 5 stars, but there were just a few too many editorial things I disliked.
E.g. repeated words and phrases, misspellings and chapters that would have benefited from an editor overall.
Still, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to any fan of Abtoad in Japan (Chris) or anyone who is interested in Japan and seeing it from a different perspective.
