3.0

This is going to be a quick, honest review. I had higher expectations from the book considering the love it has received. The writing is over simplified (maybe lost in translation) and certain topics are repetitive. The concept of time travel is great but poorly explored I believe. 

The visual representation and imagery was that of a play which makes sense since the author has written theatricals. However, it does leave you with a sense of comfort. Almost meditative.

It's a good recommendation for those who want to slow down and read something peaceful.
