A lovely book about a stay becoming a loving pet. 

The book shows the perspectives of both Saturo and Nana the cat. Especially the cat perspective was a refreshing change to read. The perspective was also greatly fleshed out, with it's own personality and quirks.

Although the ending is very predictable, it is still a massive tearjerker. Overall, a lovely, emotional and relaxing book.

Wel écht een tranentrekker, dit boek! Het verhaal vond ik wel echt vertederend, hoe je meer te weten komt over Satoru via de reis met zijn kat, Nana. In het begin moest ik even in de vertelstijl komen. En ook even in de andere gebruiken die normaler zijn in de Japanse cultuur dan in de mijne. Maar overkoepelend is het een mooi verhaal over een man met een zonnige kijk op zijn tragische levensverhaal, die toch zoveel liefde in zich houdt voor de katten in zijn leven.

Ik las de Nederlandse vertaling, die ik persoonlijk niet heel fijn geschreven vond. Het voelde soms bijna zakelijk en wat onhandig. Nana's uitspraken kwamen dan soms weer heel abrupt over, wat mij uit het verhaal trok. Ook werd op één punt manga en anime door elkaar heen gehaald, wat ik slordig vond. Hierom vier sterren, en niet vijf.

Maar qua verhaal niets aan te merken op dit boek. Het heeft me zeker geraakt!
