Just covered the horrors of the firebombings during WWII. Interesting connection of it to the 'live life in each moment' Japanese aesthetic.

This chapter was all about Akibahara and the fact that Japanese media is not some sort of code for foreigners to crack.

demystifying the samurai sword.

Good start to the book. So far, a predictable disassociation between Real Japan, Traditional Japan and Manga/Anime Japan.

Yeah, this is chocolate mousse level fluff.

Such fluff.

The only downside is the tedious babycare talk.

It's shaping up to be a good mystery!

This is a great summer poolside read!

Getting juicier. It reads similar to the tv show so far.

Oh yeah. Starting to remember why these books are so addictive. The pages go down so smoothly... Perfect brainless summer reading.

Heading into Aftermath. Looking forward to this.

Luisa's story ended well. A nice change.

Eh. The Timothy story wasn't that bad.

Sad that we're wrapping up story lines now. I liked Zachry's and Sonmi's stories. Hoping that Timothy's is as interesting.

Oh boy. This is getting good!

Really enjoyed Sonmi's story. Then again, I'm a sucker for futurist stories.

Not so fond of Timothy's story; too much flowery language. Sonmi looks good, so far.

I'm intrigued with the papers and the whole coverup plot.

Starting on the Luisa Rey chapter.

The plot thickens...

Oh, you book-stealing devil!

Getting better now. I like the flow of the 1931 letters.

Part 1 finished.

Now we're getting somewhere, both figuratively and literally.

Finally getting off this island!

Okay, starting to get into this. Being shoved head-first into a first-perspective narrative is hard.

Yay! Marriages are a go-go!
