This was a good audiobook, if you choose to listen.  I thought the balance and dynamic between one character who has extreme emotions with one that feels nothing was interesting.  The ending was nice and wrapped any loose ends.  I loved the almond symbolism and candy (that specific one mentioned) metaphor throughout, it fit the story quite well.  I wanted to see more of Dora (sp? again, audiobook) and Yunjae's friendship.  Seeing some other reviews, I would've liked to hear the translator's notes because it sounds like it had an impact.  I loved the translation as it was simple, yet emotional.

I see why 남준 and 윤기 liked this book. I see both of them in it. Should have written the review sooner though, my links are starting to blur but again it was still interesting to see, throughout my reading, two of my favorite people “reflected” in this story.

 Contrary to what I heard from some people, I thought the author did a good job of telling a story through someone who cannot feel emotions without making it seem lifeless. Not the most memorable book but still one that will stick with me, I think.

ילד לומד לאהוב 
ילד לומד לשנוא
ילד להשמיד את האנושות

הכתיבה לא הייתה חדה או חודרת והרגשתי שזה יכל להיות סיפור קצר במקום ספר
