Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan by Jake Adelstein

5.0

Wow. Where to start? I should probably admit that I gave this book 5 stars less because it's a perfect book and more because I think it's a book more people should read. It's fascinating, often brutal, and definitely interesting as an inside look at organized crime, human trafficking, and investigative journalism. You will probably come out of it more cynical than you were before you read it.

As a book it seems to jump around a bit, as if the author wasn't quite sure of exactly what he wanted to say or what story he wanted to tell (and yes, I know I know, it's not supposed to be a novel).
