amarguerita 's review for:

The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami
DID NOT FINISH: 44%

couldn’t finish this book, which is unusual for me. it was wayyyy to boring. the stories and the characters didn’t bring any emotion in me, thought that everything was quite random i.e descriptions of things or situations that don’t seem to be relevant for the story. characters were quite flat, there was no reason i should care about what they do or what they have to say. and i don’t know if it’s the translation but the style of writing is confusing to read at times, specially in dialogue.
i hope i gave it a fair shot!
