This book is AWFUL! I do NOT recommend it. [...:]
This book is unequivocally unintelligible. I am not trying to say the writer's ability to convey a story is terrible, what I am trying to say, it is not in any comprehensible form that is able to keep the reader's attention. This book is written (purposely) in irregular English that has been

1) translated from the original Japanese by a computer (as a Japanese to English translator, I know when a document has been translated by a machine, and this book clearly has been), and

2) written with a mixture of the English language and HMTL markup language.

These elements are confusing, making it extremely hard to follow any kind of story that may be hidden in the text.

Yes, this may sound like an extremely interesting premise. I thought so too. But I cannot warn readers enough: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENJOY THIS BOOK! AT THE VERY MOST YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO EVEN COMPREHEND THE MOST SIMPLEST OF MEANINGS!
