Book Feels

Reading “The Miracle of the Namiya General Store” was a total emotional rollercoaster! It had me feeling all sorts of things—sadness, warmth, happiness, and even heartbreak. The stories of the characters were so interconnected, and it taught me valuable lessons about life, family, and chasing your dreams. I can't forget those cool elements like the letter slot, the milk box, and the mind-blowing time machine.

Overall Review

Just like "Anak Anjing yang Kebingungan" or "Musisi Toko Ikan" or “Seseorang Tanpa Nama”, I kinda feel like sending a consultation letter to that grocery store. Sounds fun, right? That's the first thing that popped into my head after finishing this book. It made me feel all sorts of emotions—sad, touched, happy, proud, warm, heartbroken, it's a rollercoaster of feelings. I think “Keajaiban Toko Kelontong Namiya” is best enjoyed by taking it slow and really immersing yourself in the stories of each character. Even though there might be a bunch of character names thrown at you, but, it's not as complicated as it seems. The author has a way of connecting all the characters, so it's easy to follow along. Plus, they'll make sure you don't forget a thing. This book teaches us about life—the ups and downs that each character goes through. It reminds us of the importance of family and friendships, as well as the power of dreams. There are so many things in this Keigo Higashino book that left me in awe—like the letter slot and the milk box, they're etched in my memory. And, the time machine that carries their stories is mind-blowing. And honestly, it deserves all the praise in the world!
