Harmony by Itoh

4.0

Harmony is a little hard to read at first, because it's written in a sort of html code, but it's actually an emotion code, so that the reader can feel the emotions as they're narrated in the book. Huh? you say... you learn about it later, one of the innovations that people have in this future. Yes, it's the future, and a sort of utopia where everything is almost perfect, and the main character feels chafed by that. she sets out to solve a string of suicides, almost unheard of in this time, and uncovers something pretty chilling. the whole thing was very creepy, i love japanese books, the ones i've read have all had this creepy sort of way about them. it's not horror, it's more science fiction, but if you think about it too much, and its implications, it will certainly keep you awake at night. Loved it!
