Negative Positive
Title: for sensitive readers - look elsewhere
Review: Read this book if you are mature, able to understand the complex symbolism in it, and don't mind gruesome and incestuous situations described in great detail. I feel the back of the book did not warn me enough. Besides the parts that made me uncomfortable, the plot and characters gave me little reason to want to even finish the book. I would recommend this book to any reader with background knowledge of Japan's complex history and culture, but for any sensitive, and especially young reader, you probably won't get much out of it.
Is the review positive or negative?
