A book of two halves for me. Literally. Tengo was such a bore. He had no character or personality. Aomame on the other hand was very interesting. The same thing is told to the multiple times with only a tiny bit of new information added each time. I found this quite frustrating at times. I guess it served to slow down the pace to add tension but I mostly found it annoying. Despite all these nagging points I did finish this because I find the story to be very intriguing. I just hope Tengo finds a personality in the next book.
