I really love this book, altough I like his book all, KU-HAKU-NO-SAKEBI is most fevorite books for me. This is because, "pessimism" are among this book which make me consider about life and meke me head for dimension.
Sure, the story and plot is very intriguing but most impressive for me is the style of letter; Introspection type of letter is very impressive and highly fitted to the story. And more, this novel, I believe, suggest, the rale of life or thinking spot is impossible or almost impassible to break or walk. People try to do or rethinking from him or her past, but get out of the pass is impratical. The theory is suggested by this novel I think.
