I think I'm a lil bit smarter after going to BTN. I'm hungered for a smart intriguing story. I felt like reading a novel with political plots. So, I went to a book store to rent a novel written by maybe John Grisham, Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum. I had already picked "The Pelican Brief" by John Grisham but then I saw other novel... the title hooked me immediately... "Sushi For Beginners" by Marian Keyes. The title rings a bell to me but I don't know how & when. After all, I decided to put back the Grisham's novel & rent Keyes' instead. Yeah, so much for a smart intriguing reading... :-P
Besides the title, I've been always like a story with many characters. In "Sushi For Beginners", there were 3 women. The rest... I have to finish reading the novel before making further comment. Based on the customer reviews at Amazon.com, the novel got an average 4 out of 5 stars.
Somehow, even I don't think the story is related to sushi or Japanese culture, it reminds me of my 6-months stay in Japan. I'm not a Japanese food lover, not even sushi. I had been ready mentally to consume Japanese food & become a fish-eater during my stay over there. I've been treated with sushi during my welcome lunch. I'd say that it's sushi for beginners...
