The book I am currently reading is a bizarre way of describing life after death, especially Hell. I almost finished this book…I’m sure tonight I’ll be able to finish it.
So far, I can say that Hell by Yasutaka Tsutsui is an Okay Book…it isn’t bad but it isn’t outstanding either.
My teaser comes from page 72.
There weren’t many young people in Hell, but occasionally Takeshi would encounter young boys. Most seemed innocent and incapable of any real sins, and when he talked to them, he would find that they were guilty of nothing more than a childish prank
What is Teaser Tuesday?
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Sounds different, thanks for sharing

You’re welcome 🙂
I’ve been reading (and enjoying it) more and more unusual story from Japanese writers this past few year.
This sounds very interesting. One has to ask who exactly Takeshi is!
My teaser is here
There are a lot of characters in this book…Takeshi is one of the centre one.
Well that doesn’t seem fair! Poor kids.
My teaser is here.
It’s okay, Tsutsui’s version of Hell is not scary at all…those kids will be just fine 😉
Very cool teaser. Wonder what he was doing in Hell. Here’s Mine
Thx…I can assure you that he isn’t there because of childish prank 😉
Sorry you’re not enjoying it more. Hopefully your next read will be stellar!
Here’s my teaser
I think it will be a good read, just started Cage by Kenzo Kitakata…I’ve reached page 10 and it’s already intriguing
Oh, that doesn’t sound fair!

Wow, great teaser.
Sounds intriguing. Thanks for stopping by.
I agree that the punishment isn’t at all fair, which I hope the book is demonstrating! Interesting teaser, and an interesting topic!
My own teaser is at Bookishgal.
Hmmm … this sounds interesting.
