i didn't like this book to be honest. it was okay and an easy read but i felt it had no depth to it. maybe this was purposeful because he doesn't have feelings but i wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Credo che questa sia stata la miglior lettura di quest’anno. L’idea di rendere entrambi i personaggi principali dei “mostri” (che poi in coreano non è altro che “cosa strana”) e di permettere che si conoscessero e che si aiutassero e che si dessero l’amore che nessun altro attorno a loro aveva avuto il coraggio di dargli.
L’autrice nella sua nota dice “I bambini desiderano essere amati, ma al contempo sono quelli che danno gran parte dell’amore.” e queste parole mi hanno letteralmente trafitta.
A ogni bambino che non ha ricevuto tutto l’amore di cui necessitava, spero possiamo tutti fiorire in adulti gentili e amorevoli.

I was gripped from page one. The characters are complex, unique, and so lovable. Despite being voiced by a character who cannot identify and express his emotions, the book is absolutely full of them, in a tender and simple way that makes them even more powerful. Some popular Korean books, especially those about mental health, have fallen a bit flat for me - but not this one. I absolutely loved it.
