A review by alwroteabook
The Graveyard Apartment by Mariko Koike
5.0
In a fit of whimsy, I hereby announce I will give everyone five stars, but the reviews may not reflect it.
I found this disappointing and feel like it's "lost in translation". The story is good but the writing seems mostly juvenile interspersed with some "big words" (the translator likes the word "ebullient") that disturb the flow. The scary scenes are well done and kept me reading despite the writing issues, while the background of the MCs was unique. I think this could be a stellar movie in the right hands.
