Helpful Score: 2
Chronicle is written in a very Japanese way. The plot gets fragmented easily and becomes obscure, both lending to an ethereal quality. Many threads begin, intertwine, and unravel during the book so if one is not paying attention and connecting seemingly disparate parts, the story can readily confuse a reader.
There are parts of the book that are graphic, especially parts detailing torture during the war. I would say that the style is similar to other Japanese media such as Anime or even video games, so if you enjoy those, you'll probably enjoy The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
