Uniformly Undeserved has a number of positive aspects. One of them is the informative nature of the book. The author's inclusion of the political histories of America and Japan is enough to keep readers well informed with many facts about these countries. Before reading this book, I did not know this information. This is a book that propels my research instincts.

An important quality which the book majorly highlights is loyalty. The shared brotherhood, family relations, and friendship among the characters in the book are very heartwarming. We also get to see loyalty exhibited in the spirit of nationality by Eiji and Saburo. I got to understand that loyalty is the only thing that would breed love and unity among brothers, even among strangers. That is how powerful loyalty is.

Personally, I deduced a case of cultural conflict in the character, Eiji, who is an American-born Japanese. His struggles to remain loyal to both countries and not do so at the expense of the other is something I feel many readers in Eiji's situation will relate to. Therefore, this book could give them insights on how to go through their situation and handle it nobly.

Another thing I noticed while reading is a form of dramatic irony in an event in this book, which I believe will pique readers' interest. I deduced from it that the event influenced the book's title. Japanese American citizens are mistaken for enemies within the American government. I love how the writer creatively narrates this event and how my emotions were stirred because of it. Every reader, through the adventures of Eiji and Saburo, will learn that the duty of care and loyalty to one's community is an individual effort before a collective one and that it is an obligation that comes from the heart.

The only thing I found negative about the book is that the historical information was a bit too much, and this incited boredom, occasionally, while reading. However, this does not override the positive aspects of Scott Corbett's book. I had to go online and research some information, and that made reading not pleasant sometimes.

I found four errors whose nature was the omission of punctuation within sentences. I accord P. Scott Corbett's Uniformly Undeserveda rating of 3 out of 4 stars.

I recommend this book to readers who are interested in learning about the cultures of countries, their political inclinations, and the security measures they undertake.
