Wow, this book is extrememly disturbing and I don't advise anyone read it, ever. I wanted to kill myself. Kenzaburo Oe has a freaky twisted mind and when I had to write an essay on this book there wasn't a single happy moment in the book to talk about. I usually look for the happiest moment in the book and write about it so I don't hate my paper. But the only happy moment was the end, when this godforsaken book was finally over.
