4.5

writing was so dreamy didn't expect Weightlessness coming out of a thing so miserable, so many strings of words that felt so sharp (the lines abt rage and despondency..unreal)stands apart from all the other mishima i've read but still feels like a natural progression :o blurry picture of a book, squinting at the sun, loved
book cover in the hall of fame of my heart!!

I picked this book up without knowing a single thing about it. The writing is sometimes incredibly beautiful, especially when describing the mundane. 

I'm very interested in reading more by this author!
