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!
