This book was nothing I'd expected yet everything about it affected me differently. I admire Murata's ability to tackle deep-rooted societal issues in a unique, idiosyncratic way such that the message is loud and clear yet not directly spelt out. This was a difficult book to read so make sure you read the TWs. I had to take a break midway as there were a lot of horrible moments, moments where I found it hard to go on with the RAGE I felt. The narrative takes you through the mind of someone rather intimately and the writing's quite smooth and fluid.

This book made me FEEL. It wouldn't leave my mind for the days that followed and I'm certain that the characters would remain at the back of my mind for a long, long time.

I LOVED those little fairytales adapted to the mindset of the protagonist. I would definitely recommend this book.

I would rate it a 4.5 cuz I'm a difficult person and very few books make it a 5 in my lists .

I believe everyone interested in understanding why we sleep should be reading this book. It helped me change certain perspectives, and while I may still struggle getting enough sleep, at least I have a better understanding of it now and will be striving harder to improving the quality of my sleep.

I also really liked the writing as the author makes an effort in breaking down hard to understand facts into analogies or simpler language

I don't know if I can consider this to be readable by children or whether I'm just an overly sensitive, overly protective adult. Roald Dahl's writing is as magical as ever, easing me into the mind of a younger me, enabling me to enjoy the tale as I would have as a child.

A refreshing change from the books I usually prefer reading. The story hooked me in midway and I just couldn't wait to get to the end. The descriptive details felt a little overly complicated as I wasn't really able to conjure certain images in my head, or maybe that's just how the writer wanted it to be.
A student of mine asked me to review it for her, and as the genre of the book suggests, it's suitable for young adults or mid/high schoolers.
