Un libro interesante en cuanto concepto y bastante divertido en su narración. La lucha entre lo original japonés y la occidentalización de la era Meiji parece incluso caricaturesca con los personajes que nos acompañan en la historia. Además, la visión externa del gato permite que se cuestionen prácticas y creencias que normalmente se tomarían por sentado.

El único punto que restó valor para mí, fue lo largo que es el libro. A final de cuentas, es un libro sobre divagaciones y con mil referencias; no es tan simple seguir la historia. Creo que la longitud fue complicada para mí, por estas razones. Aún así, hubo pasajes muy entretenidos durante todo el texto.

overall, i really enjoyed this book. i liked seeing the interactions and connections of human beings and their nature in a different perspective, that of a cat. i think the relationships between the main character, mr sneaze, and his friends was a very humble and calming kind of thing. they could get together whenever and talk about anything that comes up, it was a tranquil kind of book. there wasnt any major events, just the little series of lifes misfortunes and sufferings, such as the students bothering mr sneaze. this book is definitely a comfort read of mine, the only thing i wasnt too fond of was the ending. it seemed abrupt and not planned out well, but perhaps thats the best part, as life is unexpected and abrupt.
