Author’s vulgar love

BY AMY UCHTY
SENIOR PULSE REPORTER
"Howto Pick up Japanese Chicks
and Doom Your Immortal Soul"
sounded interesting enough.
Man, was I wrong.
Author Josh Muggins writes about
his lust for Japanese chicks and little
else. Sure, I understand that's the title

50 pages, it gets old
really fast And the
book goes on for
another 200 pages on
the same thing: his
sexual escapades(or
many times, lack
thereof) and,
surprise, his
unquenchable lust for
Japanese chicks.
Perhaps I just didn't
get his sense of
humor, but the book
gets so repetitive that

it simply wasn't funny. At all.
Another huge problem with this
book is that there are absolutely no
characters to care about. The main
character is Muggins, who readers
can easily stop caring about on page
25. This is when you realize that
you're not going to really getto know
the depths of this guy, but rather just
what he thinks about every Japanese
girl that enters his life, which is
usually just her breast size, the noises
she makes if—and that's a big if—
he has sex with her and
occasionally, her name.
As a woman (and half-Japanese
one atthat), this book was especially
difficultto read. Women, to Muggins,
are just a piece of ass and the
occasional warm body to sleep nextto.
I really didn't care enough about this
guy to hear about him
giving oral pleasure
to some Japanese
chick or about some
Japanese chick re
ciprocating the favor.
I'm no prude, but why
do I care about this
guy's sex life? It was
n't even interesting or
remotely fabulous,
but rather lackluster
and disappointing.
Another aspect of
this book I found
especially disturbing is
that during the course of
this book, Muggins is a teacher of the
English language in Japan. Even
though he's relatively young (mid-20s),
the fact that he voiced his desire to get
it on with many of his still-teenager (or
as he refers to them, "jailbait") stu
dents was just gross and wrong on so
many levels. There's even a table with
his "spermification volume" calculated
for his lessons with his students, which
