review 1: I wanted to like this book. I really did. I even told myself in the beginning, This will be great. Different, but great.It wasn't great. It wasn't great at all. I want to blame it on the translation. I really do. But again....no. All the sentences were structured the same. Superfluous words everywhere! Deep sentiment with little explanation or story behind it. A lot of philosophy for someone saying so little of anything.
review 2: I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. It has an interesting, quirky premise, but just didn't have any plot points or twists that I found engaging. The ending was a tad disappointing too. My main issue was with the amount of characters. They all have unique names, but there are way too many characters popping in and out to ... morekeep track of. Some characters are only there for one scene, but it's still hard to remember them all. The other weird thing is that the main character has the same name as the author. I find that very weird and a little pompous. less
