Heaven by Mieko Kawakami

My Rating:  1.0


A 14-year-old boy is subjected to relentless torment for having a lazy eye. Instead of resisting, the boy chooses to suffer in complete resignation. The only person who understands what he is going through is a female classmate who suffers similar treatment at the hands of her tormentors. 

There are raw and realistic portrayals of bullying.

UGH! Despite the writing, the story line was horrific. It is graphic and uncomfortable about bullying and there didn't seem to be any redeeming value to the story,. Don't ask me why I stuck with it but I hope I can save you the time and you skip it.
