What a funny little book. The characters are eccentric and I must say I found Keiko fascinating. But not as fascinating as Shiraha. He's an angry little man.

I don't really know what the intention is behind this book, but it was quirky, held my attention and made me snort with laughter in all the right places.

That combined with my current fascination for reading fiction based in cultures other than my own, made it an enjoyable read.
