It's a lovely book that, style wise, reminded me a lot of the curious oddness of Miyazaki movies. It conveys several lessons in dream-like scenarios that have a very Miyazaki-like abstraction to them, which made it unpredictable in an intriguing way. That does sometimes mean that I get lost in the curious oddness, but it is definitely enjoyable.

It was an OK short book. Nothing particularly interesting but who can resist a talking, wise cat guide

"El gato que amaba los Libros" nos sumerge en un universo mágico, tejiendo una historia corta pero impactante que captura, a mi parecer, la esencia de Studio Ghibli y la narrativa poética de "El Principito". Rintaro y el gato Tora protagonizan esta historia mágica moderna, explorando lugares fuera de la realidad para encontrarse con personajes que, irónicamente, no comparten su amor por los libros.

A través de este viaje, la novela invita a la reflexión sobre nuestro papel como lectores, cuestionando la calidad frente a la cantidad en la lectura. ¿Acumular libros o consumir resúmenes rápidos? ¿Priorizar bestsellers sobre clásicos o lecturas más densas? Estas preguntas resuenan con experiencias comunes de los amantes de la lectura, haciendo de esta obra una llamada de atención para autocriticarnos y abrazar la lectura con pasión y amor.

Aunque la obra podría sentirse juvenil en algunos aspectos, logra equilibrar la fantasía con la realidad, ofreciendo una experiencia encantadora. Sösuke Natsukawa, a pesar de su estilo sencillo, transmite un amor auténtico por los libros. En conjunto, esta obra merece una sólida calificación de 4/5, ya que despiertan la reflexión y celebran la alegría de la lectura, recordándonos el tesoro que yace en cada página.
