I like that aspect of it particularly because I had to write a 8-12 page essay on the character's personality disorder. But I also like it because it makes for a prickly love story, one that feels good but makes you feel misty and Japanese. <br/> <br/>Sadly I don't know if I'd recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone else. My taste for tragic, sad, incarcerated love seems to be a rare one. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/317173?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
