Don't go into this book with expectations, but if you like ghosts, affairs, and death, you'll love this.
Despite the excess of characters, the book is a very easy read. There is a lot of dialogue which makes for good reading practice but also fills the pages with white-space. It was my 5th book and was the second easiest. There is very rarely any technical vocabulary.
Entertainment-wise, it's great. Akagawa is a prolific writer and his work isn't exactly literature, but it's fun. This book is full of chaotic energy. I promise, you will not get bored. Out of all of the books I have finished, this is my favorite originally Japanese book!
If Jerry Springer and Deathnote had a baby...
