botanicalcat 's review for:

Bullet Train by Kōtarō Isaka
3.0

I read this mostly on a real train, which is fun! but unfortunately, the novel itself was less than thrilling. I was vaguely rooting for (and rooting deeply against) certain characters, but it was always like.... okay, now what? I fell asleep reading it more than once. other reviewers have compared this to a kind of Japanese-Tarantino, and I guess that might just not be my bag.
