Yuck! I did not enjoy this book at all! It was VERY slow moving and full of remarks about people that I have never heard of. And while I'm sure it's no fault of the translator it just didn't strike me as being all that well-written. It was boring and had a rather lame "futuristic" plot that didn't make too much sense. I really wouldn't read anything else by this author or recommend this to anyone which is a shame because the reviews and premise were so intriguing...
