i'm in love with this book.
yes, it's wonderful. kazuo is cool. i like mitsuko the best tho. and of course non-evils, i like shogo. and noriko. it's also hilarious how that guy started out with a fork. |

Kazuo pissed me off; it was like.. Why won't you die, dammit!?
The ending also irked me. I would've much rather just have had Shogo not die and the other two main characters die. Yeah. Shogo was my favorite. I actually just read it last month, or so. |

i actually wanted shogo to simply kill shuya and noriko. it would have made the book a bit more interesting. not really a plot twist, but oh well.
i'm not sure why kazuo survived the explosion. i'm pretty sure he survived the uzi because it's 9mm and he was wearing a bullet proof. but the explosion... the only reason i can think of is that kazuo had hidden behind a car. |

I thought Kazuo was hiding in the car/truck/whatever, which would have shielded him from the explosion..? I'm really not sure; at that point in the book, I just wanted to finish it since I'd been reading for a good two, maybe three hours. |

Heh, I have the book and both the movies. Heh. I personally am a Sugimura and Shinji fan. Both seem kickass.

This was such a great book. I didn't think I would like it, but my friend convinced me to borrow it. I read it in like 2 days. It was awesome and gruesome and just good.
