Journal Entry 1 by Apechild from York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom on Saturday, June 24, 2006
I liked this book! It's one of the first, well, probably the second Japanese writer I've read. There is definately something distinctly Japanese about this. I've seen quite a few Japanese horror-ghost films and they all share some simliar qualities which you notice in this book.

It isn't a bloody, gruesome horror story incidentally. Perhaps atmospheric would be a better word. It's also about the relationship between parents and children.

A middle-aged, divorced man goes to the area in Tokyo where he grew up and bumps into his parents, who actually died when he was a child....

I didn't see the twist at the end coming either which was a bit surprising!
