"Antes que o café arrefeça", o livro anterior a este, é um dos meus livros favoritos por isso quando vi este à venda fiquei muito entusiasmada e comprei-o de imediato. Visto que adorei o primeiro livro, comecei "De Regresso a Tóquio" com expectativas muito altas. Isto poderia ter dado para o torto caso este livro não atingisse as minhas expectativas, no entanto, assim como o anterior este também me fez sentir os sentimentos e dilemas das personagens como se fossem meus e envolveu-me novamente no ambiente do café Funiculi Funicala com a sua iluminação acolhedora e o cheiro de café acabado de fazer. As novas personagens introduzidas e as suas respetivas histórias são feitas de uma bela complexidade tipicamente humana dando ainda mais prazer à leitura deste livro. Concluindo, recomendo muito este livro, assim como o anterior.

Actually never tought I would enjoy a "part 2" book that much but this one was a very light and comfoting read, the book managed to keep me entertainted while not rushing the story giving every character a acceptabel amount of time of devolpment.
The only problem I had with this book was that it never fully gave characters a original and fully writen personality, only their trauma is getting explained so that you can easliy forget the character but not the story.
