The unmissable new novel of friendship and dangerous obsession from Asako Yuzuki, the award-winning author of the global bestselling sensation Butter.

 

Eriko really wouldn't mind being savaged, if it was her best friend doing the savaging …

Eriko's life appears perfect – devoted parents, pristine apartment and a high-flying job in the seafood division of one of Japan's largest trading companies. Her latest project, to reintroduce the controversial Nile perch fish into the Japanese market, is characteristically ambitious. But beneath her flawless surface she is wracked by loneliness.

Eriko becomes fascinated with a popular blog written by a housewife, Shōko. Shōko’s posts about eating convenience-store food and her untidy home are the opposite of the typical Japanese housewife’s manicured lifestyle. When Eriko tracks Shōko down at her favourite restaurant and befriends her, Shōko is at first charmed by her new companion. But soon Eriko's obsession with Shōko begins to spiral out of control, threatening her carefully laid plans. How far will she go to hold on to the best friend she’s ever had?

Beautifully translated by Polly Barton, Hooked is an unsettling story of the line between friendship and dangerous obsession, and a delicious exploration of food, loneliness and womanhood in contemporary Japan.

Some didn’t stand out as a good fragrance I liked. They weren’t a bad smell just not what I wanted.
Scent: COLOGNE COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I was reluctant about ordering fragrant soap. I had a bad experience with another popular brand that smelled horrible. This actually had a couple fragrance I liked. The musk is my favorite.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Spells great
I use this product everyday and have used an entire set. They smell great and get you clean, there is a loofa bag included where you put the soap inside and makes scrubbing convenient. Recommend if you want to feel clean and smell really good.. this is the set you can use. I know the ladies like it a lot. I get compliments all the time. One lady told me "You smell like money"... LOL.. true story.

Great scent, but leaves a film on my skin.
I was expecting bars of soap with more of a peppermint/eucalyptus fragrance and I just could not relate those fragrances to what the soap actually smells like. The Viking Revolution soap doesn't smell bad per se, and actually for me is rather fragrance neutral like you might find with the more sterile hospital and clinic type soaps. The lather factor for the Viking Revolution soap is mild to moderate in our hard water. It doesn't overdo lathering up but does lather up enough to let you know it is soap and is rather pleasing when rinsing it off where with some soaps you rinse and rinse and still need to rinse more to get the lather off your skin. I wash my hands and face many times throughout the day and night and so far the Viking Revolution soap has done a great job in leaving me feel a bit more refreshed and clean. I have noticed a bit of moisturizing of my face and hands being much softer after use, so the Viking Revolution soap does seem to come through with that feature. I handle and am around livestock and animals quite often and did notice that the soap seemed to cut through the grime pretty easily. I haven't tried the Viking Revolution as a body wash type soap. The square bars are just about a perfect fit for my hand and are easy to hold onto. I will use one bar for the shower and keep the bar in a drip rack where it has a chance to dry out after use. I do really like the presentation of the soap itself and it's a nice touch that each bar comes individually wrapped and includes a sticker and a small card. A rather attractive package if you are giving it for a gift. I'm more favorable of recommending this soap than not recommending it. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is for the fragrances not really being detectable as peppermint and eucalyptus.I do think I would buy this soap again though, fragrance or not.
