The film that is based on this story takes a entirely different track in the final third

Shame about Lemon & Tangerine as they were my favourites, but what an amazing, and engaging, book!

A fun, satirical ride on a high speed bullet train? Sign me up! The author creates such vivid characters, and it’s a testament to his skills that, in a cast full of jokers, the main villain is so wicked that you will absolutely despise him above all else. For me, that’s the hallmark of a good baddie — if I openly want your character to die, you did your job!

Bullet Train delivered everything I wanted from the story. Can’t wait to see the movie!

I had to read at least one book by Japan’s most popular novelist. It was a very fun read, with many times I squirmed but couldn’t stop. Amazing characters and twists.
