well technically i read the second book, not the first.

it isn’t anything like what its title says. this book isn’t going to teach you how to walk and talk like a native speaker. NEVER. what you’ll find instead: reasons foreigners aren’t talking like a native speaker. reasons japanese people can’t pronunce english words correctly. katakana words that don’t make sense and what they actually mean and how they came about. stuff like that. really easy and interesting read, just badly titled.
