Opinion

In all honesty I did not like the book. I think Noboru and his friend's views and thoughts of the world make absolutely no sense and they do not appreciate and give value to the kind things that do for them especially when it comes to fathers like when Ryuji tried to calm down Fusako and be a good father towards the end of the book, Noboru only saw it as an offense to Noboru's idea of Ryuji as a hero and he would rather be beaten. In the end Noboru and his friends end up killing Ryuji basically for being a good father. I don't like the fact that they reflect on the emptiness of the world when in fact they are the empty ones.
