Bullet Train, Kotaro Isaka (2.5)
As the title implies, the story here mainly occurs on a Shinkansen bullet train in Japan. There are numerous hit men and nefarious characters aboard with seemingly different objectives that become more and more intertwined. Oddly the concept of this book was better for me than the actual writing. There were a couple of high points – but they were intermittent and inconsistent. A couple characters would speak or act interestingly, but then would either become boring or be one-dimensional. Throughout the book I wanted to like it more and found it hard to define exactly what was missing. I was really perplexed in hearing that this will be a movie starring Brad Pitt – more perplexed when I heard he was playing a under 30 year-old character. Now that will be acting!
