I think this might be a case of the movie elevating the material, the slow burn horror of the sand and the nefarious nature of the film isn’t as successful for me in the original text. I think the larger philosophical questions of the purpose of life, the structure of society and the roles and freedoms of manual laborers are more the focus in the novel.

От прочтения возникает ощущение, что ты сам вязнешь в песке. Кажется в книге много символизма. Я смогла уловить только некоторую часть так что с удовольствием бы перечитала книгу еще раз спустя какое-то время
Thought-provoking stuff that would have been served better by an extra 25-ish pages of cuts.

Read it a long time ago in Polish, now rereading it in English. One day I'll read it in Japanese :)
I really enjoy the story - it has this air of uneasiness, comparable only to Junji Ito work, but without resorting to any unnatural matters. Nothing out of ordinary happens in that book, but at the same time, the puzzle presented by the author is very tasty and mysterious. With both Polish and English translations I've experienced the same thing - the style of writing felt very [a:William Gibson|9226|William Gibson|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1373826214p2/9226.jpg] like. Can't exactly put my finger on which property of the text makes me feel that, but it's very much Gibson - just not in cyberpunk flavour.
