If Cats Disappeared From The World by Genki Kawamura
2.0
I was fascinated and excited by the book’s blurb, but I must say it was a very disappointing reading.
Although this book has less than 100 pages, I really struggled to finish it. Even thorough I was moved by the protagonist’s memories of his mother and family, I didn’t feel truly connected to the very few characters in the story, who didn’t even had names…
Every time the protagonist made an object disappear, he would ponder its influence in the world and in his life… but his thoughts were so utterly boring and not too enlightening. I typically enjoy books like this, but If Cats Disappeared from the World just didn’t resonate with me.
The last two chapters were worth it, almost touching, and gave a good conclusion to this dull book.
