really loved the way this book slowly builds to this extreme boiling point in the ending. it takes its time to get there but it truly is like the analogy of the frog and boiling water. the tension rises so slowly that you don’t even notice a change until you think back to where it started. 

for various reasons i didn’t appreciate the very very ending. like the last 10 pages basically. Masakos development takes a turn for the worst and I didn’t like a lot of the implications behind it

Beh, che dire. “Le quattro casalinghe di Tokyo” non si fa mettere giù. Mentre non lo leggevo fantasticavo di starlo leggendo e mentre lo leggevo non volevo smettere. Direi che quello che mi ha tenuto attaccato è stata la facilità con cui ci si può rispecchiare nei personaggi principali, le quattro casalinghe. Sono persone tutto sommato regolari con problemi che molti hanno ma all’improvviso vengono risucchiate in una situazione assolutamente straordinaria che mi ha fatto chiedere cosa farei io al loro posto. E poi è anche semplicemente intrattenente.

Il finale… è strano. Non capisco le motivazioni di Masako per aver improvvisamente cambiato opinione e sentimenti su Satake. La mia interpretazione è che si è accorta che entrambi cercavano la libertà e si è sentita vicina a lui per questo. Ma pensavo che la libertà cercata da Masako fosse la libertà di vivere la sua vita lasciandosi alle spalle una famiglia di cui non si sentiva più parte, che mi sembra ben diversa dalla libertà di Satake di possedere e uccidere donne. A meno che Masako non anelasse a una libertà dalla morale, che potrebbe anche essere, considerato che ha preso al volo la prima occasione per fare qualcosa di illegale. Non so, opinioni?

This one was hard to rate because I really loved a lot of it…And then it went off the rails and had

this horrible weird ending that didn’t seem to fit with the whole beginning part of examining female interpersonal relationships and what can drive normal people to commit gruesome crimes. Like sexual Siam was a smaller theme earlier so I guess it’s not shocking that’s where it went, we saw it in multiple characters early on, I wasn’t expecting it to be the denouement.||
