What is Reddit's opinion of Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Actually, his book points out that the donors did give a lot to the hospital and had a much shorter than average wait. Great book: https://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Vice-American-Reporter-Police/dp/0307475298

I’m an organ donor and believe in it, but the system has been manipulated at times.

This book in particular I think an excerpt came through my news feed with either a bitcoin or Japan tag, then I saw who the author was, I'm a fan of his work, yadda yadda. Tokyo Vice is a great read, totally recommend it.

For other obscure books in the Amazon e-books (programming generally for me) I either do a search for something ("shell scripting" or something), then see what happens. Amazon isn't my #1 source for tech books, but their small author program has some good content.

Tokyo Vice

ake Adelstein is the only American journalist ever to have been admitted to the insular Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club, where for twelve years he covered the dark side of Japan: extortion, murder, human trafficking, fiscal corruption, and of course, the yakuza. But when his final scoop exposed a scandal that reverberated all the way from the neon soaked streets of Tokyo to the polished Halls of the FBI and resulted in a death threat for him and his family, Adelstein decided to step down. Then, he fought back. In Tokyo Vice he delivers an unprecedented look at Japanese culture and searing memoir about his rise from cub reporter to seasoned journalist with a price on his head.

Last Summer I read Jake Adelstein's Tokyo Vice, right after Ronson's Psychopath Test, actually. The two are quite different, not just in subject matter; I found Ronson's neuroses endearing, while Adelstein's subtle narcissism sometimes nagged at me. I would say both are in the same ballpark though, page turner journeys on fascinating subjects, by authors with relatable voices.

OMG, he is coming out with a movie 'Tokyo Vice'. Starring Daniel Radcliffe. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2887954/

He is described as an American reporter, not Jewish.

How Jewish networking works. Here he is promoted by Jon Stewart Leibowitz. He got Howard Rosenberg at ABC to get the Washington Post to publish his story.

I don't really care which people whores prefer to service, I just think a single, unsourced opinion with a bunch of conclusions jumped to is less valid of a source of information to me personally than multiple accounts, journalistic sources, and my own personal experiences. I'm sorry that my view of the world does not perfectly match up with one anonymous opinion on the internet and your racism.
