Description In Pursuance Of Books Snakes and Earrings

The Prize-Winning Cult Classic and International Bestseller with Over 1 Million Copies Sold Describing a world as amoral and fascinating as the landscapes of Less Than Zero and Trainspotting, this novel about a young woman living in the violent world of Japan's underground youth culture is both shocking and strangely beautiful.

Enchanted by the snakelike forked tongue of a stranger called Ama, nineteen-year-old Lui takes a walk on another side of life. Following Ama home the night she meets him, Lui straightaway moves in with him and begins making plans to have her own tongue pierced. Determined to push her boundaries further, she asks Ama's strange friend Shiba to design an exquisite dragon tattoo for her back. But when Lui and Shiba begin an affair, Ama's jealousy is stirred and the situation becomes explosive.

Evaluation Containing Books Snakes and Earrings

Edit: I should mention that this is the only book I have ever hated so much that I actually threw it away. I refuse to even like, give it to the used bookstore, because I don't want anyone else to have to read it. I HATE THIS BOOK.My first thought when I began reading this was "This is incredibly, unbelievably poorly written". The feeling did not go away. This book is translated from Japanese. The translator should be fired. Though it is entirely possible that the translation is sufficient and

He who speak with forked tongue...may not necessarily be wise (or some such)...Fairly simple tome. Japanese urban youth culture. Barbie girl goes to techno club and meets bad boy with a forked snake tongue obtained through gradual body modification/mutilation (take your pick). She becomes fascinated and turned on, they fuck immediately; she becomes immersed in the tattoo and piercing/ body modification world; wants a snake tongue, too, yadda yadda. Kind of fascinating so far as a socio-cultural

........................I read this because Namjoon suggested it; almost gave up five pages into the book but I finished it anyway, glad I did. The story is of a young girl who finds a guy fascinating because of his body modification and ends up moving in with him pretty much immediately. He takes her to his friends tattoo parlour, to do the same modification, and she ends up having an affair with tattoo guy. What I liked was the development of her character, even though it was just over a 100

Meh.

"Know what a forked tongue is?" "One that's split in two?" "Yeah, like the tongue of a tongue of a snake or lizard. Except sometimes... they don't belong to a snake, and they don't belong to a lizard." He deliberately removed the cigarette from his lips and stuck out his tongue. Its tip was clearly split in two, just like that of a snake. Then i watched, transfixed, as he lifted the right tip of it, then skillfully grasped his cigarette in the crux of the "V." "Whoa..." This was my first

There were moments that were interesting in this book, but they were few and far apart.My main issue with this book was how unlikeable the characters were. Every one of the three main characters was well-conceived, but hard to care about in the end. I admit the subject matter of piercings and body modification is not of interest to me, but the characters did not have that certain spark that makes a character whole.
