's review

it was ok
bookshelves: crime-fiction, easternlit-namaste

Cold yet fascinating thriller centred round a professional pick pocket who gets drawn into working with the Yakuza. Somewhat trying too hard to be clever, in my opinion. A good little read, that will most likely become a landmark indie or World Cinema film one day. With my lukewarm praise this got a 5 out of 12, strong Two Stars.

Come to think of, you're right, I haven't see many Japanese crime reads on GR!
