This was a beautiful book. It took me some time to get into it, but by the second labyrinth, I was hooked. It made me think without ever getting too intense. It was a cozy, thoughtful, funny, delightful read. I loved imagining the bookstore and worlds of the different labyrinths and I think this would make a fantastic movie. It was interesting to read a translated book; I enjoyed learning some Japanese words and cultural concepts. 
I love the idea that books have a soul. Rintaro’s love for books was beautiful.
