I felt just fine about this book up until the ending. Really interesting premise! Thought I’d love this but alas… magical realism in Korea but then it became a thriller?!?! where the narrator is tortured for info and has his fingers and toes cut off!! This book was let down by the narrator (unlikeable and a man), the writing style and ultimately the ending which left so much feeling incomplete (I assume on purpose)!!
