I tried to read this book a while ago and I dropped it, but I did keep it with the intention of trying again. I read another Yukio Mishima book that I really liked, so I thought that maybe I wasn't in the mood. Well, I tried it again and this time around I came to the conclusion that I really can't read it. I read about the book and I am sure it is a great one, with complex plot and great autobiographical elements, but I really can't get into it.
