Dreadful, but Interesting...

I intended to talk about one of my favorite things today.
But, I don't feel to think such stuff because of a novel I read today.

The book's title is "Kokuhaku" which means "confession" in English.
This is a mystery story to find the truth of a mysterious murder.

I usually don't like unhappy story especially something related to murder.
Even though, this story has two interesting points.

Firstly, through the all six chapters are written in a way of each character's monologue.
Every one of those chapters talks about same thing, but each explanation is something different from others.
It is because everyone explains on behalf of themselves.
Each person tries to protect themselves.
It is pretty scary from a spectator's point of view, but I know it is the nature of a human..
Human-beings are not basically good and every one of us could be a criminal.

Secondly, the situations the characters live in, their ways of thinking, and the atomosphere... so many factors of this story are very topical.
There are many examples and words to explain about current social problems in Japan.

Because of these two reasons above, I could not stop reading this book, "Kokuhaku."
It is really dreadful, but interesting indeed.
