A review by toniclark
The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami

2.0

Just okay. I recently read, and loved, Hiromi Kawakami's novel, Strange Weather in Tokyo, so decided to try this one, which was written much earlier (or I assume so, based on the publication of the English translations). This story seemed wandering and fairly pointless. I could never care much about any of the characters. That said, I will probably try Kawakami's next book, The Ten Loves of Nishino, due out in June.
