Yuck. Reading this book did not make me feel good (and I don’t even mind a weird book). We start out with incest and then make our way to
pedophilia, plans of rape, and finally to cannibalism
. I couldn’t stand the infantile dialogue between supposed 30 year olds (and it was already grating when Natsuki was supposed to be 11 in the first place), and the plot circled and cycled without direction or motivation. The only reason I finished this was because it was so short and I had read to the halfway point out of sheer horror
