A review by mxmlln
Japan Sjunker by Sakyo Komatsu
3.0
Story: 6 / 10
Characters: 5
Setting: 10
Prose: 4
Consider skipping this "quintessential" Japanese science-fiction novel. I came across it on a Top 10 Japanese SF list, which also included 2 other books by Komatsu. However, neither the prose nor the story structure are very strong. Only the story concept is interesting. But what good is a concept without the execution?
Certainly don't read this book before going to Japan for the first time...
