A review by nhdiary
The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa
3.0
"On our last journey, let's see all kinds of amazing things. Let's spend our time taking in as many wonderful sights as we can. That's what I had pleged yesterday, when we set off. And what incredible sights we saw."
It is a really lovely book. I had a bit of a hard time getting properly into it because I didn't particularly like the tone of the narrator, although, paradoxically, I very much enjoyed reading from the cat's point of view. I must say that the way Satoru never once saw his life as unfortunate, despite everything that was thrown at him, is somewhat inspiring. No matter how short, he truly lived his life.
Cats are wonderful creatures. Satoru and Nana really found their best match in one another. Once again, it was an absolute pleasure to read about Japan's beautiful scenery. I genuinely love that about Japanese books, and this one didn't miss.
