### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Vivid dark humor at its best, but hokey and sexist at its lows.
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2013*

There are many things I liked about Tsutsui's stories. They're dark, surreal, satirical, engaging, and yet, some how, it seems so often grounded in the mundane that you might feel like such ridiculous events might happen to you. Each story is unique and standalone, but are connected by common themes of death, sex, violence, and working the 9 to 5. The collection has a good range of lighthearted humor and biting social commentary, but never feels likes it's pushing its agenda. It's hard to pick a favorite as the stories each achieve different things, but I think the books high point is having "Bear's Wood Main Line" and "The Very Edge of Happiness" back to back.However, I think the book would have made a stronger impression as a whole if the story "The World Is Tilting" would have been omitted. It seems like a cautionary tale against the dangers of feminism and women in general. It would have been so much better if it didn't come off as completely sexist or if didn't have such atrocious puns for character names (I don't know how much of a role translation played in this fact). My other criticism is that many of the main characters in the stories feel trite. Most seem to follow the same formula: male, neurotic, unsatisfied wife, struggling to advance professionally. This is probably not a fair critique, as most of the characters fit into their respective plots, but it would have been nice to see more sense of character development.I'm still not sure what I think of the titular story. "Salmonella Men on Planet Porno" reads like a XXX version of Alice in Wonderland, including all sorts of strange creatures and weird wordplay. I'm sure others enjoyed that story more than I did, but you have to admit it's the kind of title that catches your eye.

    It is written on the title page "Fans of Haruki Murakami ..."
  

*by J***J on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2015*

Yeah, I am not big fan of Murakami, but yes, there is something common in the way how author tells a story. I mean short stories, cuz there is big difference in short stories and long ones. These stories are very well written and very interesting to read. Some of these stories are scary, but all of them are written with humor, very specific humor. At the first glance, stories looks quite fictional and even surrealistical, but after short thinking I could tell that most of these stories are very realistic, and very possible in our world. I think that the best story is "Commuter Army", which reflects real commuter world in multinational country like USA. "The Very Edge of Happiness" is quite exact snapshot of average middleclass family. "World is Tilting" and "Last Smoker" are very scary stories, but the same, with some sarcazm it reproduces general internal policies in USA Government institutions and some large american corporations.I do not know why, but it is not first book, where name of Murakami used as some measurement to author, and that is funny, because I think that Yasutaka Tsutsui does not need that comparision, he is great in his own way.I took one star off just because there are couple places, where, I believe, author cared more about appearance, which makes story shallow. However, I love that book and would recommend it.

    Very imaginative
  

*by C***M on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2011*

A few of the stories are funny and tongue-in-cheek, such as the Dabba Dabba Tree, a story about a conical bonsai tree which, if placed at the foot of the bed, gave the occupants erotic dreams somehow spliced with reality, or Rumors About Me, a story about an unsuspecting salaryman who suddenly becomes the center of media attention, and Salmonella Men on Planet Porno, a story of scientists who try to study a different and seemingly obscene environment of animals, insects and people. Farmer Airlines and The Last Smoker were, I thought, the wittiest stories in the book.But there are a few satirical stories of the Japanese culture which I found rather disturbing, not so much because they painted the Japanese in an unflattering light, but more than the scenarios he chose to portray them in. Bad for the Heart, is a story of a man whose heart medication becomes the central focus of his life, and The Very Edge of Happiness, a story that subtly points to the results of stress on repressed individuals and the need to conform over individuality.There were a couple of stories I just didn't get.So on reflection, I think I'll give this stars. I think it will appeal to readers who enjoy surrealism, satire and witticism. However, for the amazing imagination of the author, I'm going to give 5 stars.
