An ode to Ian by the main protagonist, Puu. It is filled with love and reminiscence as well as with affliction and painful past. I love how it was written. The writer expressively wrote the state of vulnerability when one is hopelessly and helpless in love someone. Crestfallen for Puu, yet empathetic for Ian, as well. Although there were wrongdoings by Ian and it’s not that easy to forget, I felt the need to listen Ian’s side of the story, as well cause we all know there are more than one side to any story. However, this is a beautiful ode to Ian by Puu so I won’t ask for more.
I have two issues with this book. One is with the writer dropping many names (props I’d like to call) in the story. I felt it’s unnecessary to add that many in order to make the reader feels connected with the story. A couple of books and songs should be sufficed. Another thing is its punctuation. (is there even a word for it? I want to mean စာအဖြတ်အတောက် but there’s no such thing in English writing, right?) Not sure if it was erred by the printing house or the writer deliberately wanted to convey this type of writing. Even his writing is fluid, it is discomfort to read with such odd ‘punctuation’.
Regardless of those two points, I enjoyed reading it. I’d rate it 3 out of 5.
