Tokyo Ueno Station by Yu Miri
1.5
sad slow-paced

This book would be great for someone, but that person isn’t me.

I think there’s a really nice story hidden in here, but overall I didn’t like it

The structure was frustratingly haphazard in a way I did not enjoy. It was incredibly random and it annoyed me. It was also very sad but in a way I found quite dull and dour. 

Probably much more rewarding for those more familiar with deep Japanese culture, but I found the culturally-centered stories quite long and confusing.

Almost DNF but it’s so short I just powered through

There are some nice moments but really outweighed by nonsense
