    This is a book that uses lightheartedness to wrap up seriousness. The protagonist starts as a nobody, and after an accident, he begins an extreme identity exile: he steals other people's good life, and also their love and hate. He dons different identities, tastes the ultimate warmth of family and the glory of heroism, but also, in a vortex of lies and deception, watches helplessly as the light in the eyes of his loved ones is extinguished because of him. In the struggle between lies and truth, conspiracy and ideals, he is forced to confront the psychological shadows he has been avoiding all along. When the stolen beauty is completely shattered, his destitute soul finally begins to face his sins and punishment. Here you will find heartbreaking true feelings, thought-provoking questions of good and evil, and the struggle of a "rats in the gutter" trying to stand up.
