An odd little book.
As a horror novel, it falls flat - there's just nothing scary here. Likewise, as a thriller or mystery, there's not really much going on. Probably the best way to summarize the story is "young woman joins cult", and it regrards to that, the book is much more subtle that such a description would imply.
The book was extremely easy to put down and stop reading, and the reasons for that are no doubt cultural. There is a sense of the woman's place in the family, and of how women typically behave in the face of adversity, that in the States went out with the 50s.… (mehr)

Stopped at the 15%. At no point was I interested in discovering what happened next. A book about a sniper doing their last job, while writing their life story seems like an interesting enough plot, it is just so slow in getting to anything interesting.
this was boring and trite. japanese gothic horror. makes you think it might get horrific many times but no, everything about this book can be garnered from looking at the cover. the protagonist is weak and easily hate-able, the plot is fine but i could see the ending coming from a mile away. not impressed.
