From postmodern Renaissance man Ryu Murakami, master of the psychothriller and director of Tokyo Decadence, comes this hair-raising roller-coaster ride through the nefarious neon-lit world of Tokyo's sex industry It's just before New Year, and Frank, an American tourist, has hired Kenji to take him on a guided tour of Tokyo's nightlife. But, Frank's behaviour is so odd that Kenji begins to entertain a horrible suspicion: his client may in fact have murderous desires. Although Kenji is far from innocent himself, he unwillingly descends with Frank into an inferno of evil, from which only his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Jun, can possibly save him.

0 0This book was sick and, ultimately, very boring. You know who did it, you know he's a sick monster, you know that the main character knows all of this. The only thing you don't know is if the bad guy kills the main character, and I couldn't have cared less by the time I reached part 2. The only good part of this book was how the author wrote about Japanese/American thoughts on each other, but even that has to be taken with a grain of salt.
