keraashley 's review for:

The Cabinet by Un-su Kim
3.75

Maaan what the fuck. 
I really truly enjoyed the first 60% of this book, with the rotating stories of the “symptomers” and their abilities and experiences, it was funny and I liked these people with extraordinary things happening to them still just kept on with a normal life.
Now. The author lost me in the back 40% with the mafia showing up. Bc what do you mean? This is a man who answers phones and works a boring job, what is the mafia doing there? And the torture scene? No. Good bye. 
I’ve noticed a theme in Korean literature that body horror just is in most things? And that’s interesting
