oh, okay. that was really fun. my mind hurt from all the thinking and wondering and predicting i had to do. but in like a good way?

i loved, loved, loved how the chapters intertwined and i would never guess correctly who was next, that was freaking cool.

another favourite thing about this book was how nobody had a name!!!! are you kidding me??? loved that! i'm not gonna lie, the stories in the beginning had me very hyped up about the rest of the book but i didn't like the last ones as much (the one with the tomatoes and the one before that) but!!! i liked the ending part! that was v clever and it's pretty rare for a book to do such a full circle, no matter how intertwined everything is. great job, yōko ogawa.
