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 really liked the characters, especially Ryuji...

I also loved the themes that the book came upon;
Glory and Honour
Alienation
And so many more!
