## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The darker realms of the soul. Soon to be a film!
*by N***R on July 30, 2017*

This books sears its way into the psyche: compelling characters that imaginatively fuse murderous impulses and human pathos. I couldn't put it down until it was finished; it was a wild and fascinating ride from beginning to end. Despite all the depravity and issues of abuse (along with its fallout), I felt great sympathy for these two lost souls fated to collide. This is a memorable and riveting piece of fiction and I was thrilled to find out that there's now a film version, starring Mia Wasikowska, waiting for release. Ryu Murakami is a twisted master at exploring the darker realms of the soul - his voice is unique.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's not a SCARY novel like ghost crazed psycho story
*by G***N on July 13, 2017*

It's not a SCARY novel like ghost crazed psycho story. "Piercing" has a deeper meaning and well titled. It's actually a really tragic/sad story of survival of everyday (every moment even) experienced by ppl who endured harm in their childhood. Their past manifests itself in destructive ways so they can't feel "normal" they have normal moments then they relapse into their twisted emotions of their tragic past. They have to keep pretending to be normal, they can allow themselves to be loved or be healthy and happy, but only for fleeting moments whether it's months, days or hours. I appreciated the ending. Because................spoiler....,,,.......,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,After the story ends They will continue to live on as nothing have changed... they will live on haunted forever by their past...maybe he will try to succeed at doing "it" next try a month later a week later a year later? And her, well... she's just a mess.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent and Disturbing - Wonderful!!
*by S***L on September 29, 2016*

Sometimes graphic, often disturbing, and full of the twists one would expect to see from Ryu Murakami - but still never really see coming!!  Well worth the price, and well worth the time to read - a fascinating little slice of life book.  People who know what it's like to be haunted by childhood trauma will find themselves wanting to read this book more than once.
