3.5
The story of Kyo and Ayako is almost everything you want a story to be.
The story of Flo is the annoying stranger who sits beside you on thw train and won't shut up.
For both, though, Bradley's writing is stilted and unsure. It's most noticeable in Flo's chapters because there is very little substance to her to begin with, but it also interrupts Kyo and Ayako, which is unfortunate.
Skip Flo. Read Sound of Water. Be patient with Nick Bradley's prose.
