### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Lit class would challenge this piece
  

*by K***8 on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2020*

I enjoyed the cultural experience, and I was willing to take a walk with the author down a complicated technique. While some refer to it as similar to Kafka, it seems that it is an attempt that does not rise up to the name, especially with the ending. I went into it anticipating more questions about the reality the characters existed within, but that did not emerge until the last few pages, maybe even the last few paragraphs. I enjoyed some of the character development, but overall I wanted more from the author than she delivered in this book. Part of the blame I put squarely on the shoulders of her publisher, who should have given her more guidance and support for a novel such as this. Unless, of course, she is self published. Then in that case she had the editor she deserved.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Disturbing, supernatural and surreal
  

*by A***6 on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2020*

Honestly I'm not sure what to make of this yet. There's obviously the direct read - about the rise of contract labor in Japan and how it perpetuates meaningless-feeling lives. But the setting of the book, the factory- feels nonphysical, so everything is potentially a symbol, adding up to, I think - an understanding of how this author felt as she drifted through various part time jobs. You can continue to flow on, repeating labor day after day, being paid well - and end up like the old man on the bus: ignored by kids (who don't know that maybe the same fate awaits then). The way this book portrays work makes it feel inescapable, almost in a "you're fated to live and die like this", but at the same time the characters have serious communication issues and lack of imagination and engagement with the world outside of work. Maybe the sister in this book realizes that, becoming a "bird" and flying away,  days after eating with the character who spent 15 years doing nothing but aimlessly studying moss.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An interesting quick read but not for everyone
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020*

The Factory depicts the monotony of corporate work where it feels that your individual position does not serve a purpose. It’s a good commentary on corporate work and how nothing ever happens. For that reason, nothing happens in the book. I enjoyed it for the writing and creating a rich sense of the factory. However, it’s not a book that grips you. It’s what we already know - we are cogs in a wheel. I give it 4 stars for the writing and layering of stories from three perspectives.
