Amazing translation and fascinating commentary on the lines between free will and determinism, animals and humans, right and wrong... I don't think this book should be advertised as a 'mystery' as such, because it's not supposed to be a whodunit.

Disappointed by the section in space which was so vague and undefined - I realise that was purposeful writing, but it left me emotionally uninvested when I had been so intrigued earlier in the book :(
The wonders of science and nature, however, were core to the writing of this book, a feeling that translated amazingly via audiobook :)

Was super hooked by this book but disappointed by the final arc - the twist was interesting but its repercussions absolutely should have been dealt with more
