Book Review of All She Was Worth

All She Was Worth
atomictorte avatar reviewed on


I was not blown away by this book. I read it shortly after reading Natsuo Kirino's Out, which has maybe influenced my opinion.

All She Was Worth was an easy read, taking me about four days worth of work breaks to finish. At parts I felt like I was sitting in on a lecture on Japan's Economy rather than reading a crime novel, and the ending was largely unsatisfactory. Still, I did like the way it unraveled, and there were twists that I was unprepared for. Worth a swap credit, but I'm glad I didn't buy it.
