katjaaaaaa's review against another edition

3.0

Was not a big fan of writing style, way too cheesy. Especially Nana’s POV. However, did enjoy the stories and characters a lot. Every character was down to earth and relatable, even with a mixture of Japanese culture, which was very refreshing to read about and note for yourself. The final message almost made me cry, which would be funny considering this message was given by a cat

Was overal a pretty good read, nice change of pace among all western books I’ve been reading so far

This is a gentle and satisfying read, full of emotion and descriptions of nature's beauty. Through the narrator and the first person perspective of a smart, self-assured, and witty cat, Nana, we learn about Saturo, a kind man who endured hardships throughout his youth and is now trying to place his cat with old friends.
