The Temple of the Golden Pavilion
by Yukio Mishima
★★★☆☆
Oops oops oops I'm very late!
"That's it?" was the first thing I said when I finished this book. I feel somewhat neutral about it, there was too much purple prose
for me and I wished we would have seen the aftermath of the arson, I also had a hard time feeling anything but disgust for the characters.
I was very invested in the first chapters, but after chapter 4/5 since I couldn't connect with any of the characters I started to feel
a tad bored. I had a hard time getting through the last three chapters and felt like the ending was VERY abrupt.
I had already read another Mishima book, "Life for Sale" a month ago and the writing style was completely different! From what I read online, "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" is the book that represent best his writing style. So, I don't think I would read another one of his book, but it was an interesting experience to read about a despicable character's vision of beauty.
