Confusing but I still liked the book. I hated all the characters except for the sister but surprisingly my favourite part was not hers but her husbands. Even though her husband was the most disturbing one, it was also the most intriguing one for me. A lot of people think that his part turned the book into an erortica, which I cannot blame them cause it really kinda did... However I think it was necessary for this book and what I think Han Kang wanted her readers to feel which is to be disturbed and be uncomfortable and be reflective.
