1.5

Interesting premise ruined by an incredibly boring execution and poor, repetitive writing -- can't tell if it was from weak writing itself or bad translation. If you need a book to lull you to sleep, pick this one up. I fell alseep multiple times while reading this. It took me a month to read 200 freaking pages.
