i wish i could rate this higher but i simply…did not enjoy it 

it’s a 200 page book that took me around 2 months to finish. and i could feel so much if the symbolism going over my head but the subject matter is too dark for me to ever want to read this again. but it was still very interesting! i enjoyed the pacing/introspective narrative in class issues in japan :-) good just not for me
