I have to say, this book had me entertained from the beginning. The way it was written, it was as if you could feel what Osamu Dazai felt when constructing the words. It’s a beautiful book. One of the best I have read. Frankly, I just got into reading again a few months ago. When I got this book I didn’t think too much. Although, I found out this book wasn’t good for beginners as it apparently was a difficult classic to read. In my opinion, it was a wonderful read. I don’t believe it was for beginners or it is not, I just believe that it’s different for everyone. I do recommend this book to anyone. 5 stars. :)
