Helpful Score: 1

This was one of the most bizarre books I have ever read. I read it for a book club, and it was a chore to try to get through. No one in the book club understood what was going on, or who the many characters really were. There is no real resolution at the end, that we could figure out. There must be a great deal of symbolism that none of us could figure out, and we wondered if we had known more about Japanese history if we would have understood the book better. The book has gotten great reviews, but it isn't a book that I enjoyed.
