Otin kirjan taannoin mukaani Kampin vaihtohyllystä ihan kansipaperin ja nimen vuoksi. "Moni kakku päältä kaunis, mikä onkaan sisältö?"
Tässä tapauksessa sisältö oli täyttä huttua. Englanninkielinen alkuperäisteos on kirjoitettu v-54 ja sitten suomennettu v. -55. Tarina oli eirttäin köykäinen ja suomennoksen kieli niin vanhaa, ettei kaikkia sellaisia ilmaisuja, mitä kirjassa käytettiin ole enää samassa muodossa suomen kielessä.
Lloyd "Ace" Gruver, the son of an Army general, stationed at Itami Air Force Base (now Osaka International Airport) near Kobe, Japan, falls in love with a Japanese entertainer who is a performer for a Takarazuka-like theater company, whom he meets through his enlisted crew chief, Airman Kelly. Kelly has married a Japanese woman, Katsumi, in spite of the disapproval of the United States military, which will not recognize the marriage. The Air Force, including Gruver, is against the marriage. Gruver and Kelly have an argument where Gruver uses a racial slur to describe Kelly's fiancee, but Gruver apologizes then agrees to be Kelly's Best Man at the wedding.
Kelly suffers further prejudice at the hands of a particularly nasty colonel, pulling extra duty and all the less-attractive assignments. When Kelly and many others who are married to Japanese are ordered back to the United States, Kelly realizes he won't be able to take his wife, who's now pregnant. Finding no other way to be together, Kelly and Katsumi commit double suicide, which strengthens Major Gruver's resolve to marry his Japanese lover. When asked by a Stars and Stripes reporter what will he say to both the "big brass" as well as the Japanese, neither of which will be particularly happy, Major Gruver says "Tell them I said 'Sayonara.'" This ending differs from that of the book, in which Gruver says "sayonara" to his Japanese girlfriend and returns to the States.
KIrjan perusteella on aikoinaan tehty elokuvakin, jonka pääosassa on legendaarinen Marlon Brando. Uskon elokuvan olevan paremman kuin kirjan.
Luin kuitenkin kirjan sinnitellen loppuun ja vapautan sen mahdollisimman pian takaisin Kampin hyllyyn.
