kingkoala 's review for:

The Woman in the Dunes by Kōbō Abe
3.0
dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I do really like the story. The whole premise is odd and I really like that, and exploring this concept is fun. However, I felt that the narrator went on to many tangents. Often times mid chapter this would become a stream of consciousness style of writing, and I guess it just went over my head. 

The story does make me feel sorry for the main character however by the end I just hate him.
