Beautiful Star by Yukio Mishima
1.0
if you are planning to start reading mishima, don't let this be your first book. or on your list for any time soon.
this was out of my general expectations for a mishima, in a bad way. it was an interesting read at first, but then started to drag out after i got to the mid-point.
a family who thinks they are or are aliens work on bringing world peace, but it all goes wrong, and they fail with their task only to move into "human" matters while they still see themselves as superior beings.
while this would surely be an interesting book to read for a literary disection, it still doesn't change my displeasure with it.
i will still be reading mishima's works, but will do my best to forget this one.
