I love comparing and contrasting movie adaptations to books—though usually I read before I watch. I’ve been wanting to read this for a long time, and I find it fascinating to experience it now after having not only lived in Japan, but in and around the exact same areas explored in the novel.

So far, I’ll say the movie’s pretty spot on—and the book has a grittiness to it I didn’t expect!
