(first book of his Tokyo Trilogy)
Really had to get used to his writing style.
Lots of repetition, and I mean lots. Words within sentences, sentences within paragraphs, paragraphs within chapters. Is this his style, or typically Japanese, or a mix?
Continuously mixing normal thoughts and actions with his (repeating) thoughts and feelings. It takes some getting used to.
Started to read faster nearer the end. At a certain moment though, it seemed I got slowly sucked into the story; was this the result of the increase in speed, or rather the story itself which picked up pace?
Got the 2nd book of the trilogy as well (the third is not out yet, I think) and will give it a try...
