Wow, I didn’t even catch a murder mystery aspect. I mean, yeah, there were killings aplenty, but even from the intro chapter we seem to know who did a lot of it (even though it may take a while to see why). I guess there’s the mystery of where the heck Hiroko went. :)

To me the book had two messages: 1) I am sooooo smart, and 2) humans seriously suck.
