Spoilt by robotic narration
Would you try another book written by Harold Kerbo and John McKinstry or narrated by Eva Wilhelm?
Never anything narrated by Eva Wilhelm
Would you ever listen to anything by Harold Kerbo and John McKinstry again?
Maybe. They are knowledgeable and interesting.
Would you be willing to try another one of Eva Wilhelm’s performances?
Never. I honestly thought it was being voiced by a robot until I checked. The intonation and emphasis were so flat and irritating that I was going to return the book.
Was Japanese Society and History worth the listening time?
Yes, after a boring start it was an interesting and thought provoking listen.
Any additional comments?
Clearly written for the American audience.

Patronizing
Aimed only at US students this book is really patronising and talks down to the listner. If your not American and more then 10 years old give it a miss. There are much better volumes available.
