I found the prose plodding and a little lacking, but the character writing of Toru Watanabe is superb: a man caught between his mistakes and continuing to make mistakes; a man who does not know what he wants, really. The women in the novel are not written with much complexity, but I feel this is acceptable as the protagonist - whose perspective we see from - is a subtle misogynist who does not see women as complex people.
