Have you ever read a book so good you feel like your mind had been blown when you finished it? Like, you already know this book is good when you read the first quarter but then it's progressively getting better and better? I rarely read a book which has that kind of effect but I'm ecstatic to say that this is one of the book.

You know, I deadass thought it couldn't get any better when I read chapter 2---please, I cried alot (but in a full contentment, not in sadness, mind you)--but with every page-turn, it always prove me wrong. I was so mesmerized. How can Keigo Higashino wrote this kind of masterpiece??? Just, how???

Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 was my favorite, but chapter 5 (the last chapter) is so fucking bewitching, enthralling, spellbinding and *insert hundreds of other similar adjective here*

There are so many characters, plus, it has omniscient 3rd pov. Usually, when I find a book like this, my little dumb brain would be so lazy to keep up. But this book is extremely intriguing since the first page until the last. Never a dull moment. I'm sure, if I read this during weekend, I probably finish it in one sitting.

PS. God, I hope obliviate is a real charm so I can obliviate myself and read this for the first time in my life.
