3.0

I found this book highly disturbing and thought-provoking. It was well-written, but in a very surreal style that I personally did not enjoy very much. Some imagery was very brutal; there was a lot of animal death. It also felt like the stories would make more sense for a person who is smarter than me and someone who knows more about Taiwanese history and myths. I read the stories thinking most of it went over my head.
