It was strange, full of mystery and i enjoyed it a lot.
But on the other hand i was very dissapointed because i didn't meet the girl, i still don't know who was she, why was she so alone..And i don't know why Tsuneo was so "open", i mean why did her feelings entered in Tsuneo's heart?
It's a shocking book i could say, but an extraordinary one too.”
“A tad disturbing. Finished the book in one sitting, but felt like I had eaten something really disgusting. I'm sure some booklovers know the feeling.”

Yes | No“i find a lot of common threads between the thinking of Yamada and the malayalam writer O V Vijayan. I have always pondered on the 'scanty' emotions that Yamada has so clearly brought out in this book. All in all an intense food for thought!”

Yes | No“very simple in terms of style and format, i found this book required a receptive mind to read. the story is atmospheric more than anything, and it hits you on an intuitive level rather than a rational one. the story and the characters are ‘lightly drawn’, but nevertheless there is real depth of human experience and emotion.
