I got this book because it kept popping up in magazines, newspapers and online. At over 900 pages, this monstrosity was a disappointment. People kept asking me if I liked it and what it was about while I was readig it and I didn't really have an answer for them. Finally, I realized that this is an anime book. If you like anime and the weird "little people" and "spirits" that abound in anime books and movies, then you will like this book. I was not a big fan.
The basic premise of the book (if I can even summarize it...) is that there are two realities or two dimensions to the world. In our normal world, things putter along peacefully. However, the female lead is led down a path to the alternate world where two moons light the night sky and little people work to try and...well, I'm not sure I know what their purpose is. The male lead is drawn into this alternate reality by ghost-writing a novel for a girl who has intimate knowledge of the little people and her story is the truth of the little people concealed as fiction. Oh, and the male and female lead were in 2nd grade together and have been secretly saving themselves for each other. The story is much more complicated than this short paragrah, but if you are interested, then you have to take the long, long, long journey that I did.
