Maybe I was influenced by all the negative reviews I read for this book. I started off hating it and almost quit reading it 1/3 way through. However, I am glad I listened to one of the reviews I read that told me to stick with it until the end. I am so glad I did. I really started enjoying this book once the Japenese character moved into the building. Before that it seemed like just random thoughts put out by the author through the characters. After Ozo appears there seems to be more action and plot and I could picture this almost as a movie. The ending was a little sad and I wished it had been different but perhaps the ending is why the book is so memorable to me in the first place. This is a very original and well written book with a lot of interesting ideas. Stick with it all the way through and I'm sure you'll enjoy it too. I already want to go back and re-read since I feel I missed some things in the beginning sections since I was so determined to hate it.
