Now and Zen by Linda Gerber
5.0
I never really can find many books based in Japan (that are written in English, that is), which is part of the reason why I jumped at the chance to read this book.
I haven't read many of the SASS series (only one or two others at the most, but then again maybe not any...), so I cant really compare this author to others, but I must say I did really relate with how she wrote it. At the time I read this I was a young teen, and I said "like" as much as any stereotype out there, and because of this the book seemed to be in my own dialect and was an especially easy read.
Honestly, I would not be nearly as interested if this book were to be based in, say, Finland or something (no offense whatsoever to the Finnish! I'm just making a point that you're not Japan), but because this book was based in Japan, and it often traversed the topic of recycling and being eco-friendly (as Japan is known for being), this book has earned a special place in my heart.
