Mostly relaxing audio until you get to the 3rd main character and her child that likes to scream ''no.''
Most of the book is the main characters' thoughts with some dialogue every so often.Problems are solved simply and too quickly, it is nice to see some personal growth but it almost happened overnight.
The book has about 20 different characters which makes it quite difficult to follow occasionally.
There are multiple narrators. The one toward the last quarter of the book has a really terrible falsetto.
Wanting to find out more about the librarian was what made interested in finishing. She isn't mentioned often and every time uneccesarily in a fatphobic way.
I wouldn't give it a 2nd listen ,whereas DallerGut Dream Department Store I would as it has more magic and whimsy with less misery taking up 3/4 of the book.
There aren't many cats depsite the cover.
I was hoping that the last chapter would be dedicated to the librarian solving the mysterious aspects , but there was no such chapter.Very disappointing.

The translator needed an editor though; there were over a dozen typos in the English copy. It was especially disappointing during #3, where you are connecting to a former magazine editor (lol!).
