Kedi alasım geldi. Bir de ölmekten korkasım.
Japonca’dan değil İngilizce’den çevrildiği için, yani çevirinin çevirisi olduğu için belki, dili çok basit geldi bana. Öyle “edebî” bir anlatımı yok yani. O yüzden duyguların etkisi azaldı.

4.25 Stars: Exceptional - A truly exceptional book that deserves to be celebrated for its originality, depth, and impact. It pushes the boundaries of storytelling and challenges readers to think deeply about the world around them. It’s a must-read for anyone who appreciates the power of literature to inspire, educate, and entertain.
This book made me cry. It’s sad in a very beautiful way. Short read and the prose helps carry you through the heavy parts. Leaves you reflective of life and death while somehow feel cozy and hopeful. Also cats.

I wasn’t sure how I wanted to articulate my feelings for this book. There are some things I liked and things that I didn’t. If you like pop culture references and lots of inner monologue (albeit simple imo) then you may enjoy this story. I enjoyed the idea of “what we own actually owns us” theme that occurred throughout. The main character is given the opportunity to remove items from existence in order to live another day, thus providing the reader with insight on how our lives may change.

I loved this book. It really made ne think about how I want to live my life in the future and what I value the most. I was sobbing at the emotional parts. The whole book was beautifully written and I will definitely add it to my faves.

The story is about the main character discovering he has cancer and having to come to terms with that while reflecting on his life. As such, heavy themes like the death of family members or pets as well as terminal illnesses are discussed, most of the time not graphically but at length.
