Jika Kucing Lenyap dari Dunia by Genki Kawamura

I listened to this audiobook during a day hike, it was very nice as far as companions go. I ran out of listening time on Spotify when I was 20 minutes away from finishing it and out of spite read the rest online rather than buying extra audiobook minutes, which, I gotta say made me realize the narrators performance (which wasn't half bad, honestly) didn't do the text the service it deserved, it was more enjoyable to read than listen to unfortunately. Still. The way you spend your days is the way you live your life and significance comes from within as well as all around. Devastating stuff.

Ammetto di essermi approcciata a questo libro abbastanza prevenuta, perché quando un libro è tanto popolare e tanto piaciuto storco sempre il naso; e infatti non mi ha entusiasmato.
Frasi carine da sottolineare ma niente che non si sia mai letto su Tumblr qualche anno fa, uno stile di scrittura che non mi ha coinvolto e - posso dire? - un po’ banale.
Parere personale, ovviamente, ma per me è un no.

I don't get the hype? Maybe it's the english translation, but I was not enjoying the read. The only line I actually enjoyed was one toward the end where the protagonist recognizes that he never once considered what he did for others while he was still living. Other than that, can't say I loved this one.
