What not to like in a Japanese thriller. Builds up neatly and continues till the end. Highly recommende for someone who likes this genre.
Very good read. Still possibly 8/10 (I like my literary books more!!), but dont mind reading these books at all.
At 435 pages brings my 2022 total to 2790 pages.
If you have not seen the movie, you must. Its a visual treat. To someone who loves Japan, its a love story.
If you have not read the book, you must, its delightful writing.
Loved the writing and the book.
At 276 pages brings my 2022 total to 2355 pages.
And I might just be recommending the book of the year for me.
This little book, about #MeToo, made me think, made me think and made me think.
It was one of the books, I never wanted to end. Stunning writing. As I always say for books like this 18/10. Do read it. Dont miss it. Send me a note, and I shall gift you this.
At 97 pages brings my 2022 total to 2079 pages.
Buy, treasure and re-read this book.
Images from the Guardian
A strange melancholy of a book. Conjures images of a world that is never still, always moving. A world where we never fully know what we want, and never have what we need, and that little thing which means everything to us - is always just a few inches from our grasp.
Loved the writing, the imagery and the hidden philosophical gems interspersed in the book. A book that made me search my soul, and come up with its vacious emptiness.
Absolutely do read it.
At 338 pages brings my 2022 total to 1982 pages.
Finished this little gem of a book, very unusual stories about love. Some of them stunningly graphic and makes you think.
At least I did wonder what kind of person the author must be - to write with such grittiness.
On my scale, possibly 9/10. The folks who dont like too much raw, might dislike a book like this.
Do read.
I have been away. A long silence. A point where our mind is talking, but our voices are silent.
There is chatter, and then there is emptiness.
One day there shall be no more the need for the quiet.
