 Hm.. I don’t know about this one. I’m not sure if it’s the translation or it was the way that it was really written, it just felt really stilted and detached. It’s hard for me to enjoy the prose because this translation is giving me major trust issue.
I think nothing particularly special stands out from the story itself, although I did find the relationship between Shingo and his family quite interesting. Other than that, I really can’t say much about this book.
