I hated this book. The motivations of the characters made absolutely no sense to me. Is that because this is a translation and some things did not translate well? I doubt it. Would I understand it better if I were Japanese? Perhaps. I plan on reading more by this author, but I certainly hope the next one I read has at least one character that is a decent human being. This one was filled with sociopaths/psychopaths. In fact, it is the kind of novel you might expect from a man who would, in a few short years, commit ritual suicide in front of a government office and a tv crew. That's exactly what the author did.
