This is fun in a dark way. I picked this up because I couldn’t take my mind off the blurb. I wasn’t disappointed!

This isn’t a book about arcs or character development. It’s creepy, weirdly funny, and focused on what it’s like to be human.

It does slow down in some place. However, I personally think that’s normal for translated work, and I don’t think it detracted from how much I enjoyed it.

My favorite part is the Dream Kitty's point of view. I enjoyed the interpersonal and the social criticism this book brought out to the table and the body horror slash surrealism is quite enjoyable. It's enjoyable, but not really impressive. I'd recommend this book, tho. I particularly love the ending!
