A great writer allows us to see a differnt world through differnt eyes.  This writer does that.  He takes us on a journey, not just of a foreign land and foreign customs, but also a journey as a man loses his naivete.Hiro is an excellent name for his protagonist, if I am pronouncing it corretly.  A modest humble man that understands most of his limitations learns the sometimes painful and sometimes pleasurable lessons of life.When I first started reading it, I wondered at the inelegant use of english, but soon not only found it flowing well, but charming.  It fits the rather naive mind of the narrator.  Hiro learns those lessons we all learn, yet keeps his modesty and humility in situations that would make most men either bitter or narcisstic.  Hiro is a Hero, without a bad streak in his psyche anywhere.By the second chapter I was ensconced in a far away land and culture in a way that I have rarely, if ever, been. This book is that fresh new approach we are always looking for.  I really can not recommend this book too highly.Five stars simply are not enough.  Well done Mr. Stevens, Well done.
