I say this with such reverence and admiration, Murata is such an oddball. This book is devastating but silly and full of childlike wonder. No one can do it like Murata can.

jenniferbookishwormish's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book can’t be rated. It’s 5 stars and negative 5 stars at the same time. I want to talk about it with everyone and also throw it into a fire and never think about it again.
