See allVery emo. Started off well enough, but ultimately didn't resonate with me at this time. I found the emotional world of the characters fairly impenetrable.
Great book about the events leading up to WWI, particularly on how they unfold in Vienna. This book is history writing with a literary flair.
Not sure why all the negative reviews. Super interesting peek into the Yakuza and Tokyo. Jake has led quite the life, and yeah, he does tell you about what position he is having sex in at one point, but why not? The title has Vice in it after all. Sometimes little details like that get remembered for some reason, and I see no reason not to write it down. Overall very readable and interesting.
Awesome book! Kept me engaged and interested. Perfect bit of adventure for these times.
