Summary: Sayonara Review
Comment: I enjoyed the book very much. Although the ending was very sad, the message was a very important one. The book was intriguing from the first page. It was not dull or boring at any moment. Major Gruver was a very accomplished and intelligent man. In the book it was interesting to see the changes he underwent; at first, this man would not even acknowledge a Japanese woman in public but after he opened up and gave these women a second look, he not only talked to them, but he fell in love. More people need to make that change in life because so many times people get overlooked and pushed aside because they are of a different race. In this book it was not only individuals who did not agree with the entangling of people from two totally different cultures, but the United States Air Force as a group did not agree with it either; they did not understand the strength that love has on mankind. Sayonara is a truly amazing love story who's message and lessons should be known world-wide.

Summary: True love knows no race, country or culture...
Comment: An American soldier in Occupied Japan finds himself in an illicit romance with a local girl, much to the dismay of his American fiance, who seems to find their relationship one of obligation and nothing more. This soldier finds himself at odds with his country, his countrymen, his superior officers and the Japanese culture. His mutual love for his beautiful treasure overrules his sense and sensibility. He is what we call "in love" and thinks it is just grand.
This is a quick, easy read that keeps dear reader glued to the pages suffering along with the characters in both heartache and love, as these two courageous individuals battle social acceptance among cultures.

Summary: Sayonara
Comment: I thought this was a really great book. It tells the story of Major Lloyd Gruver, who falls in love with the beautiful Takarazuka girl, Hana-ogi. Through his relationship with her, he begins to see past the darkened skin and slanted eyes of the Japanese into their hearts. The ending was very sad. I reccomend this book to everyone.
