Last year I read a book by Tomihiko Morimi titled Penguin Highway. I did not lượt thích that book. It had elements that were clever, but aspects were just dreadful. It was a major disappointment as I was extremely excited about Moringươi being translated into lớn English finally. He's a very successful author in Japan & I have sầu enjoyed many of his works that have sầu been translated to film và anime. That said, I ordered his next book being released, the one one you are now reading a reviews for. Why? Because I Last year I read a book by Tomihiko Moringươi titled Penguin Highway.

That said, I ordered his next book being released, the one one you are now reading a Review for. Why? Because I saw the anime adaptation of this book, & declared it my favorite movie of the year. Hell, it probably makes my top ten anime films of all time. It"s bizarre, it"s funny và it"s shockingly charming.What is it about? Well, it"s about this:
And this:
And don"t forget this:
To put the plot into words is a challenge. The story is mostly nonsensical, & though considered a novel, it is really four interconnected stories that revolve sầu around the same characters, giving us a glimpse inlớn their life in the spring, summer, fall & winter. This is not a slice of life comedy though, it very much falls into the magical realism school of thought, with many unexplainable things happening & people taking them in stride. All four of the stories are quite humorous, though I personally liked the second & third the most. I should note that I probably would have sầu enjoyed the fourth more if I had read it last year when the book came out in English, as the story involves a "super cold" spreading through the town and knocking everyone out & causing havoc. While it is still presented in a comedic fashion, given the big events of 20trăng tròn, it was a touch less amusing. Overall this book is a vast improvement over Penguin Highway. The jokes work better here, the plot while episodic flows better and all in all it"s just a more entertaining story. While I found myself frequently wanting to lớn give up on the other book, this one, once I got inlớn it, sped by. While I really enjoyed this book, I should note that if one does not lượt thích the sense of humor often presented in anime (I mean, it translated well into lớn anime format for a good reason) then they probably should avoid it. It most likely won"t win you over. The sense of humor is very whimsical & plays off a lot of Japanese culture, so I can completely see where many wouldn"t enjoy it. Still, for me it gets a solid 4/5 stars. ...more

2.5/5starsFirst read of 2021 và... An unfortunate 2.5 stars.Was really looking forward to lớn this one, but unlike the cover, this was not very fantastic at all. Rather than being magical or surreal or interesting, we basically see the same story 4 times and watch characters get intoxicated and get inlớn weird situations because of it. That's about it... Which is not necessarily a story I wanted khổng lồ read
