Very grim, at times a little confusing but I like that. You get the sense that we don’t truly know our protagonist or his intentions, but these suspicions aren’t confirmed until the very end.

Would not recommend, was quite depressing and macabre. The story and the way it was told was very simplistic.

3.5

the first section really grossed me out (this is a good thing). it made you reflect. and then to me it fell flat afterwards. the ending was not bad too, it did drive the initial point in. but i generally do not find things that are “improbable” such as ghosts, very dystopian settings etc very scary, plus this is the english translation so i will not say it is a bad book. i just personally did not feel as impacted as most did. still very much worth reading!
