Slow-moving, too much detail in everything including exactly what pictures and labels are on the walls. Not my type of book at all. The action is minimal and I'm not sure there is a plot. Perhaps something (like the plot) got lost in the translation but this is the worst book I have read this year. To be honest I didn't even read it completely. I scanned through the last half trying to find a storyline or a decent ending and could not find either one.
