3.0

Although there were aspects of the book I found somewhat thought provoking, it unfortunately wasn't my cup of tea. It felt mostly autobiographical and I can't say I'm very fond of Osamu Dazai's life choices. I generally enjoy darker, more emotional books, but perhaps the writing style (or the fact that it's translated from Japanese) made me feel quite detached, but maybe that was intentional...
