Fast paced and a short overall book that was easy to read. Talks about a gang of pickpockets and a secret heist that has to be pulled off, the main character is always looking back at his partner and his own mistakes. A very tightly written (translated?) book that includes a heartfelt side plot about a younger pickpocket and seeing the main character in other people. I left the last chapter unread for a while after reading the whole rest of the book semi fast because I could feel a bad (apparently very typically japanese?) ending coming but overall I really liked the book. Favourite quote because I made notes while reading this one “but just because it’s my peak, that doesn’t necessarily mean that I’ll reach it. What I mean is, it’s my limit. It feels wonderful. I destroy all of those values and I exist solely as sensation. I become unbeerably hot and then vanish.”
