“I enjoyed the book and especially at the end I got emotionally invested in the story. It gives a bittersweet feeling that you can sometimes find in the Studio Ghibli movies as well. However, this was not necessarily a memorable read for me and I’ve given it 3.75 stars. I think the writing just did not really captivate me and the beginning was especially slow. I did really like Satoru as a character!
Though I appreciate the story and I really do like japanese cat stories I don’t see myself rereading this.”MissMariMac
