橡皮靈魂
Side A Track.1
You are my destiny（你是我的命運）
為音樂雜誌撰寫披頭四樂評，是宅男鈴木誠與外界唯一的連結。
而無數的陰錯陽差和一場車禍，讓模特兒繪里坐上了鈴木愛車的前座。
滿溢的美麗女人香氣，從此深深刺進這向來與女性無緣的男人胸口。
一切都是命運！否則，該如何說明之後那些令人難以置信的事呢？
Side A Track.2
Maxwell's Silver Hammer（麥斯威爾的銀色榔頭）
開始以繪里守護者自居的鈴木，嚐受到人生最強怒氣的爆發！
他忍不住動手殺了一個個「糾纏」繪里的男人，
就像〈Maxwell's Silver Hammer〉歌詞所描寫的變態殺人犯，
在認識繪里之前，鈴木只是一個陰鬱安靜，又無害的男人。
只是從那時起，就好像扣錯了鈕釦般，人生一切都開始變調了……
Side A Track.3
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band（比伯軍曹寂寞芳心俱樂部）
不管發生什麼事，鈴木發誓都會盡全力保護繪里。
對於因為疾病而有了怪物般外貌的鈴木來說，
守護繪里，為他找到了生命存在的意義。
而這可能是，他最初、也是最後的戀愛了……

Rubber Soul by Yumehito Inoue is my first novel by this author and it's a surprisingly well thought out, engaging and stylist novel!
I like all the Western pop music references in the story, and the main plot about a seriously disfigured loner (who happens to be obsessively in love with Western pop music) stalking and 'protecting' a young up-and-coming model, to a point he was willing to do murder for her (two men are killed in total), is intensive and it reminds me a great deal of The Phantom of the Opera, and I'm saying it in a good way.
I like how the many details in the story were written, I also like how the loner MC was written, his voice and his thoughts about the girl whom he was obsessively in love with (he loves her, but he knew better than to show himself in front of her), music, the outlook of his life and his loneliness, all of these sound realistic and understandable to me. Although his stalking and spying on the girl is rather unforgivable, still when reading the story I found myself pitying the MC despite him being an active and cunning stalker (who spent most of his time stalking the girl model), I pity him for being so heavily prosecuted for his disfigurement for his whole life (even before he actually did anything bad or illegal) and barely anyone cares for him (expects his aged caretaker).
I also like how there are various POVs in the story, we get different sides of the whole series of events from different characters: the MC, his caretaker, the girl model, her agent, her friends and co-workers, people from the music magazine, etc. Plus despite of the different POVs, the story hasn't once lost its focus.
At first I think this book is only set to be a 'realistically written but predicable' stalker story, but in the end, the author dealt out one mother freaking hell of big fat plot twist which boosts my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars: .
I will keep my eyes on more of Mr. Inoue's novels.

故事不錯，可惜篇幅太長，劇情卻沒有太多推進。最後的逆轉不錯，也合理，但動機與某推理名家的出名名著太相近，削弱了讀者的感動。整體算是不錯的推理小說。
