Summary: A fun little gift item
Comment: I think it's amusing to find everyone taking something--that's not supposed to be a serious book on sushi--so seriously! If you are a fan of some of the crazy rolls we see on sushi menus these days (and there are pletny of them), this tiny book plays up to that. At four bucks from a company with a line of these little 'Best of' series, what does one expect?

Summary: Waste of Money!!!!
Comment: This book was a joke!! It was an actual insult to Japanese cuisine. I thought that this was going to be a nice little book with recipes for some great sushi rolls, but I got surprised!! There are no pictures or diagrams what-so-ever except the one on the cover. And the sushi rolls that they have listed are horrible......"goat cheese, corn, and basil roll", "blt roll", and "peanut butter and jelly roll". Get real.
Don't even waste your money on this book. It should have a negative rating if that was possible.

Summary: Disturbing, to say the least
Comment: This is by far the most retarted book on sushi i have ever seen. It almost makes me embarrased to call myself an American. I have NEVER seen anything like this before, and im sure the sushi bars all over America who make wonderful authentic Japanese sushi would be mortified to see this book.
none of the recipes sound good at all, and its a huge disapointment considering it's titles claim. at most, the so called 'western' sushi recipes look and sound disgusting.

Summary: 1 star is too many
Comment: I wish the rating system had a negative stars rating. I haven't read this book, but the discription I got from other readers is enough for me. The saddest part is that, we can tell from the 2nd review that, this book has caused at least 1 japanese person to take on the belief that americans could never know or love real sushi. this is a tragedy.

Summary: It's fun!
Comment: Anyone who reads this book should realize it's a lighthearted, stylized take on sushi ... and, at several dollars, not a comprehensive guide to authentic technique and culinary history. A weakness of buying books over the internet: sometimes the buyer expects something other than he or she orders (hint: you can actually see books in a bookstore!). I enjoyed some of the farcical receipes (even if I'd NEVER actually eat them). Try giving this book with a true sushi cookbook and some inexpensive accessories. Four stars!
