dark mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

3.0

Quite an odd story. I feel like quite a bit went over my head since I’m not familiar with early 1900s Japan when this was written. Some of the criticisms though are relevant to modern day US. I guess some things are universal and unchanging.
