5.0
originally had this at 4.5, but i just kept on thinking about this book weeks after reading it. beautiful prose. anger, disappointment, are pretty much always present in this book quietly sparkling and crackling in the background until ichiro stumbles upon some revelation or blows up on another character. the moments of contemplation and sadness are underlined by this numb feeling afterwards. very flawed book but the moments that shine really stand for themselves.
