Reisverslag van een kat by Hiro Arikawa, Sander Schoen

evangeline34's review against another edition

3.75

I did like it, but it was very slow. I loved Nana’s narrative and I wish more of the book was from his narrative. I think jumping into the different background stories sometimes got a little boring 
Very sad! Didn’t make me cry but I was definitely close 

“In that house, Chikako gave priority to making things comfortable for cats and dismissed the idea of getting one of the flat TVs. A splendid decision, in my opinion”

Very cute, very heartwarming, and also punishingly sad at times. This quick story reminded me of my own adventures in cat ownership and it was easy to empathize with, if not immediately identify myself and others, in the vividly yet succinctly drawn characters.

This is a very sweet book about a cat and his owner. It was well worth reading but didn't dig me into an emotional hole until the last section.
