Reader comments

His stories always make me think deeply, especially "Rashomon", in which the darkness and complexity of human nature are vividly displayed. I quite hate that old woman who pulls out dead people's hair. What she does makes people feel disgusted. But this also shows that the author has successfully created the characters. In short, this is a good book worth reading and will make you think more deeply about human nature.
