An easy, well-paced read with some interestingly inventive description that kept me entertained throughout. And on that note I think the translater is deserving of praise. But overall not as impressed by the plot as I’d hoped I’d be.

anhedonia_n_anomie's review against another edition
The book is a slow-burner—so takes a while to get to the meat of the plot—and with the main character being this inhuman creature (so to speak) who doesn't engage with anyone else in the story, doesn't speak, doesn't have much of an inner life (outside of what his superpowered olfactory sense brings to him), and who is just constantly behaving incredibly revoltingly—I just couldn't stick it out until things started going somewhere.
