emotional reflective relaxing slow-paced

"The more you train yourself to notice your happiness, the more it becomes yours."

Although a little plain, I was pleased to have parts of the book stick out to me. It was a slow journey to the characters' finding their peace, and I think it reflects reality really. Not much else to really say about the story!

Other personal ramblings include: why does the translator half-arsedly translate some of the Korean words into English?, and do we think Keith Brymer Jones would like this book?

After adoring Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop, I thought I'd enjoy this one too...

I called this book The Boring Season of Boredom in my head. I couldn't wait to finish it. It had only 270 pages but it felt like a 1000 page long tome. I couldn't even tell you the plot of this because it doesn't exist. While I appreciated all the new friendships built (and a hint of romance), it didn't come soon enough, nor was it enough to overshadow all the long monologues and descriptions that made me fall asleep.

I didn't particularly care about the main character. My fave was the cat and the little girl - those two I wanted to learn more about but unfortunately, didn't get as much as I wanted.
