Would recommend. Does have some religious themes but is otherwise a very pleasant read.

So spooky and twisted that I couldn't put it down. Everyone should read it.

Best short stories:
- The Head
- The Embodiment
- Snare

Very long book but confronts society well.

Not very realistic and has parts that read like a dictionary. Not the worst book but could be better.

Not as good as some of Murata's other works but I am still a huge fan. Good jump scare in this!

Pleasantly surprised. Very cute story and super quick read.

Would categorize as strange romance. Relationships that are sweet and toxic at the same time. (Updated on 3/14 to 5 stars)

Started off really strong with good characters but became unrealistic and drifted away from the themes as the book went on.

Excellent, as always.

Very cool feminist project. Wasn't a fan of the added historical chapter in the 20th anniversary edition.

Got me back into reading after a 4 year hiatus.

Didn't stand out to me and I did not like the format. Better for younger audiences.

Take everything in society and flip it around. Extremely strange and compelling.

I don't like the use of a grand gesture, but can't stop thinking about scenes that pulled at my heartstrings. Well done dark themes. (Updated to 5 stars, a month later)

Chapters 30, 33, and 34 are worth reading, but this book is boring overall.

Excellent for Hunger Games fans - violent with lots of references to the other books.

Unsettling in a good way. Well written. Parts 1 and 2 were fantastic. Still figuring out how I feel about part 3 (reminds me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest).

The book was awkward overall, but I understand how it might be beneficial to a different audience.

Hard to rate because it will mean different things to different people. Had parts I liked and parts I didn't like.

Horrifying and chilling. Extremely dark and well written.
