This is an interesting read.  There are parts that really annoy me like the fat phobia, but other parts are just so interesting you must keep turning the pages.  From the first few pages with all the guns you would think this would be ultra-violent, but since Sakamoto’s wife hates killing, no one dies, but justice is served.  Sakamoto is a retired assassin who takes on new challenges and new charges.  This book is very much a mix of John Wick and Mr. Bean.  It’s wacky, deadly, but has a lot of heart and one really roots for Sakamoto, his wife and his found family.
