5.0

I love the film based on this book and the plot felt almost the same from what I can remember of the film. The book still has the sort of surreal/dreamy feeling as the movie though it goes into more detail on a few things.
Somehow the book felt more gruesome at the climax than I remember the film being. I remember the dog died in the film, but in the book Asami tortures it before it dies.
