pennepasta 's review for:

Goodbye by Osamu Dazai, Shelley Marshall

3.0

dark emotional funny sad tense slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: N/A

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

---

Because it was unfinished, much of the meaning of the story, plot, and character development are left up to the reader. The writing lacks Dazai's normal writing style but that could either be because it was unedited or because he was in a worse mental state (commiting double s*icide before the completion of the novel). In either case, the story had potential but was unfortunately left unfinished.
