I had already heard that Higashino books were page turners and this is indeed the case, I finished this one in just a few days, which for me is quite unusual.

He does some fantastic weaving of side stories into a bigger plot, which are often quite touching. And there's also a general vibe of Osamu Tezuka, specially on the Blackjack manga series which I really enjoyed. I throughly recommend it.

SPOILER: On a side note, it also reminds me of some of my favourite low budget science fiction movies, like Prime or Los Cronocrimenes. Also, how come no one mentions the connections between this and the Dark tv show?!?!?!
