[Olivia Conceicao · Rating 1 out of 5]

九把刀's quirky prose worked wonders for the simplistic 那些年我们一起追的女孩 and 等一个人咖啡, but came off as trashy for 杀手势如破竹的勇气. it was so unbearable, i called it quits 99 pages in. the premise of the story held so much potential, but the garish writing style took that focus away for me. disappointing, really.
