erebus53 's review for:
The Travelling Cat Chronicles
by Hiro Arikawa
I found this books disappointing but this opinion is coloured by the awful narration. If you are going to be voicing a story set in Japan, at least know how to pronounce names, places and common foods.
The narrative was mostly told from the point of view of the cat, but it went on side quests. About half the narrative is backstory on the main character's experiences as an adolescent, and the friends that he made along the way... so it was telling things the cat would have known nothing about... and that slippy narrative style was a little irritating to me.
I do like that the cat's eye view stuff wasn't heavily anthropomorphised. I feel that the nature of the cat was fairly well respected... and I completely failed in my mission to find "a cosy book where nobody dies".
