It took a while for me to get interested in this one. I found the first part to be sort of boring. The second part wasn't much better. The third section was sort of odd, but it was much more interesting, and I liked the last part. My husband has watched the anime and, after discussing the book with him, I'd like to watch it, too. The writing style wasn't my favorite, but I got used to it after a while. I'd like to try another of Morimi's books.
