Was ein schönes Buch. Wunderschöne Zitate und toll verfasst. Eine bessere Version von „The Prophet“ von Kahlil Gibran würde ich fast sagen👀

Gutes Buch. Schwer zu lesen weil vieles zutrifft. Mir fällt es schwer das hier zu bewerten. 
Aber Kafka hat was besseres verdient.

Wow. What a ride.
This book kept me on edge.
I liked it but it took me a while to understand what was going on. But that’s what it was supposed to be like i think. 
Really really cool concept.

Amazing book! I absolutely loved it. Would recommend. And it is definitely not what you think it is. Family, life, dealing with tragedies, coping mechanisms and so much more. And the setting is so fucking beautiful. Like small japanese town full of used bookstores and cafés and then nature and the seasons. It's truy amazing. A readers paradise.
