I kept reading because I was wondering when this book would hold up to the reviews. Absolutely worst translation of a book into English I’ve ever read. Switching between English and American for school related matters. Calling it elementary school, later using A as marks them swooping to the continental numbers. Using football and soccer when as the same term. The whole book just not saying anything, not giving anything a name... not to speak of a parent promoting their child to kill a cousin and cover it up.

The best and only entertaining thing was the main characters way of thinking. The rest was meh. I didnt like the way the story was broken up. An objectively bad book that i somehow enjoyed

This was a very odd book, but I liked it. Honestly, I feel like it would have been 1000x better as a short story. Some parts were a little slow, but I enjoyed it more once it picked up.
