Notes:
- Good book — just not my personal style.
- Great concept and good execution, the exploration of society and exclusion especially! The detached voice of Yunjae works really well, even though that style isn't really my favourite.
- I was hoping that there would be a bit more exploration around different types of emotions through his perspective, but that's definitely more about my expectations than a fault of this book.
- 0.5 above 3 though because I thought the imagery was so tactile and I loved the way all the scenes looked in my head.
