Reviews for "The Akitch and the Shadow Self: Diving into Berserk's Dark Reflections"
1. Jessica - 2 stars - I found "Berserk recollections of the akitch" to be incomprehensible and overly violent. The storyline was convoluted and the characters lacked depth. The excessive gore and disturbing imagery seemed to be more for shock value rather than adding any substance to the plot. Overall, I was highly disappointed and would not recommend this book to others.
2. Ryan - 1 star - "Berserk recollections of the akitch" was a complete waste of time. The writing was sloppy and the editing was subpar. The dialogues were unrealistic and the characters were one-dimensional. There was no clear direction in the story, and it felt like the author was just trying to shock the reader with graphic violence. I regret picking up this book and would advise others to stay away from it.
3. Michelle - 2.5 stars - I had high expectations for "Berserk recollections of the akitch" after reading positive reviews, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The excessive violence and graphic descriptions made it difficult to connect with the characters or care about the plot. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the storyline seemed disjointed. While some may enjoy the dark and gritty nature of this book, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
