It's funny that I marked this book as emotional when the entire premise is about the lack of emotions. I think the author (and the translator) did an amazing job communicating the experience of an individual who feels no emotions, and his evolution as a person was just very moving despite the abnormality of the character's perspective. 
The book is very short and to-the-point, much like our main character Yunjae. It's simplicity in storytelling was one of its best qualities, and I loved Yunjae's contrast with Gon -- I think Wonpyung does an incredible job of drawing out the complexity of people in such a unique and understated way.
