Very mediocre, and very uneven.
A shinkansen full of shady characters working at cross purposes - it certainly sounds like a fun premise. I was expecting a fun, fast-paced thriller full of amusing shenanigans and mindless violence - basically some good honest light entertainment. And there was some of that too, to be fair. It wasn't especially fast-paced, but there was some action and lots of amusingly out of place dialogue (which was fun in the beginning but got repetitive very soon).
My problem with the book was that it t also tried (and failed) to be deep. With all characters being two-dimensional caricatures, the long diversions on ethics, human nature and evil, or on one particular character's sad past, were just tedious and annoying, not deep and meaningful as the author probably intended. I know this is a popular author with several books under his belt, but to me these diversions (or were they the main theme of the book after all?) felt incongruous at best, and amateur hour at worst. Much like a certain character of this very book, I felt that major parts of this book were brimming with the misplaced over-confidence of someone who still has a lot of learning and growing up to do.
