Mo Hayder: Tokyo

Boring book, and I can’t understand how it has got that good critics around the world. The climax was the most interesting part, and otherwise, the story evolved that slowly that I slept several times when reading it.

Rating: 3 of 6

What is the story about? Details, please:)

Well, the very first part is about a girl who arrives to Tokyo to study some kind of happening during World War 2. In the meanwhile, there are also “flashbacks” about something happening in China during World War 2. But the story evolves so slowly and creates enormous boredom! The girl looks up a professor to study, who declines to help her. She doesn’t have any place to live so she gets some help bla bla etc etc…simply do daily life occurrences which aren’t interesting at all…

Was that enough for you? :)
