Quick, funny, and endearing, I was really rooting for the main character. Relatable for anyone who's had an identity crisis. Sometimes we get so caught up in looking for meaning and purpose that we miss the point by ignoring our own inner voice. Nobody else can tell you who you are.

An easy and pleasant read, but the main themes of this novel have been explored with more depth, more subtlety and more style by many other contemporary Japanese writers.
