"I don't know what bothered me about it, but the idea of falling to one's death in those depths gave me a bad vibe."

Okay, so not the best book to read when you‘re down with flu, hacking away with cough and trying to feel cheerful, but I had this book with me, and started on it, without wanting to.
And now I can‘t stop, even though I know it isn‘t helping me. Someone stop me before I finish this book.

damyantig I finished it. It was a depressing book to start off with but ended on a conveniently positive note. The author writes well, but I‘m not keen on more of his stuff. 5y

A melancholic and violent tale about a very damaged man. It‘s the kind of book that makes on shudder at the icy way this writer handles his characters. It‘s a short read with rather sparse prose but Nakamura packs so much darkness into these 147 pages, I cannot help but marvel at his brilliance.

minkyb Intriguing! 7y

All the books I have are depressing.”

“So why do you read them?”

“I don‘t really know,” I said, laughing softly. “I feel like they save me. They get me thinking about things, even if it‘s just that I‘m not the only person who thinks it‘s hard to get around in this world.”

Zelma That a really lovely way of looking at it. Mr. Z often asks me why I read depressing or dark books. 7y

Mehso-so

Much darker subject matter than I usually read. Intense look into the (fictional) mind of an adult who survived a horrific childhood.
