I meant that more in it’s hard to believe someone would like all the nominees. Looking at the ones I’ve read:
couldn’t stand:
君の膵臓を食べたい
屍人荘の殺人
meh:
コンビニ人間
謎解きはディナーの後で
崩れる脳を抱きしめて
教場
enjoyed:
コーヒーが冷めないうちに
世界から猫が消えたなら
really enjoyed:
鏡の孤城
硝子の塔の殺人

currently reading:
正欲
この本を盗む者は
三体 (er, well, I will get back to it anyways)
Those are vastly different books represented there. Sci-fi, fantasy, police procedurals, young adult, serious lit, chicken-soup-for-the-soul type stuff, romance, etc. Wildly different writing styles, wildly different intended audiences. I’ve said it before but it’s the grab bag of prizes so anyone loving all of them feels weird to me.
