One of the best audio books I've ever listened to.

I never heard through a book so fast as this one! I already love Chris YouTube channel. So listening to this book felt very nostalgic, since I followed him for many years already.
Last but not least, he is a joy to listen to, even as a non native speaker as myself.

Honest

Beautifully told adventure of an authentic person. First half is extremely funny, then it gets more and more serious - while still having comic reliefs here and there. The funny part made me laugh so hard and captured me, but the more serious and emotional parts won over my heart.

Laughs and tears, a true journey

Chris let's you in on his personal journey and his good-natured, sarcastic, but also vulnerable narration is a real joy to listen to. I smiled many times throughout the book and even laughed out loud a few times in the middle of the street. The stories from Kesennuma brought tears to my eyes. Definitely worth a listen.

Fantastic

As a long time viewer of his YouTube channel as well as listener to the abroad in Japan podcast I just had to get the Audiobook read by the man, the myth, the legend himself!
It was greatly narrated and gave an even deeper view into the sometimes strange yet amazing time Chris Broad had in Japan so far!
Definitely not regretting getting this audiobook and probably will get a physical copy of the book as well!

Fantastic book

I’m watching Chris Broads Videos on YouTube for an eternity and always loved his style of storytelling and humor. This book is beautifully written and voiced by the author himself. You’ll cry laughing and also be touched by the history of Japan. I loved this book so much!

Highly enjoyable

It was a great book to listen to - light yet insightful, funny and genuine. A very interesting insight for the viewers of the YouTube channel. But also for others - a humorous book about experiences of a person moving to Japan.

Umarvelous

I'm glad Chris narrated the book himself, he did a really good job with it. Great storytelling, I was completely immersed and the jokes sprinkled in-between had me cracking up. Definitely one of my all-time-favorites.

An affable man goes on a journey

No matter if he is filming a documentary, teaches curse phrases to japanese teachers, goes on a rampage in Cyberpunk with his (second?) best american friend, is on a roadtrip in an RV, or cycling with a welshman across Japan, Chris Broad always seems to be grumpy.
Yet he has a lot of (dry) humor and passion for filmmaking and Japan and this book is like an extralong video of his, helped by the fact that he knows how to narrate and does so in this book.
If you watch his videos, you definitely won't regret listening to this book and if not, I still recommend it, if you have the slightest interest in some behind-the-scenes of different aspects of living in Japan.
Funny, insightful and entertaining.

I am utterly dissapointed!

Because the book ended! I wanted more! I wanted it to continue forever. 🤣

In all seriousness, I absolutely enjoyed this audiobook. Hearing the stories of how a young, clueless twenty-year-old left everything behind to embark on a journey with an unclear destination was so entertaining. Sharing this experience with his fans, so that we can understand where he came from and what it took for him to be where he is now, becoming the man and YouTuber millions of people enjoy watching, makes me like him and his work even more. I can absolutely recommend this book to all the fans who have not listened to it yet and to everybody else as well. Listening to him read these stories is very entertaining.

Well done, Chris Broad.

Great storytelling

Great storytelling, sarcastic humor and profound insights about Japan. I give my recommendation for everyone interested in life in Japan and/or living abroad in general.
