"Even though this film is supernatural, and set in centuries-old rural Japan, it has had a deep influence on Mad Men, with its exploration of the tragic contradiction of a family man."

Condescending nature of librarian character
Contrived lecturing
Nice concept but dull
I listened to this on audiobook and though I would enjoy the narration by Carey Mulligan. However, I found the writing so repetitive and the character of the librarian so condescending and lecturing that it ended up being a DNF for me. Shame as I liked the premise and it's exploration of mental health. I also liked Haig's previous books which were quirky and well-written but this one just didn't meet the mark for me.

The opening is a little slow and confusing (0 more)
The story is a darkly comical and almost nihilistically pessimistic exploration of why we do the things we do and the costs of those actions.

Album Rating
Cut and Run is my favourite tune. It really is a solid track. The rest of the album isn't really how I like Slaves. As much as it a deeper exploration into lyrics and emotions, it's not my style. Still, rate this though!
