That and I am a sucker for a lyrical title, so this is now on my tbr list. Thanks for reviewing it.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-71686936112848585592009-03-29T02:43:00.000-05:002009-03-29T02:43:00.000-05:00I bought this after reading Nymeth's review.

I'm looking forward to reading it, as I love reading books set in Japan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-44949873631178997532009-03-24T12:13:00.000-05:002009-03-24T12:13:00.000-05:00I had planned to read this the other weekend but I...I had planned to read this the other weekend but I didn't have as much reading time as I was hoping for.

If I hadn't already bought the book after reading Nymeth's review, I certainly would have bought it now.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-44156485442658512302009-03-23T18:50:00.000-05:002009-03-23T18:50:00.000-05:00Oh this does sound good and like something I would...Oh this does sound good and like something I would like! It does sound like it wouldn't be for everyone...but it is for me I think!

It sounded like one of the stories I read yesterday (and the author fits). In checking, I realised that the short story version I have and the one you shared aren't 100% the same, but all the same. I think it might be interesting to pick this book up just to see what other differences there are between the two. It helps that it sounds lovely. ^-^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-66067802260441213582009-03-23T14:47:00.000-05:002009-03-23T14:47:00.000-05:00I didn't think it was hopeless through and through...I didn't think it was hopeless through and through just a story here and there. I liked it as a whole. There were chapters that I just loved and adored. And one that I just did not care for at all. And a few that were very lovely. So I liked it overall.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-28631860251786057622009-03-23T14:44:00.000-05:002009-03-23T14:44:00.000-05:00One of the things I liked the most was that even t...One of the things I liked the most was that even though some of the characters feel hopeless, the book as a whole was not hopeless in the end. Not for me, anyway. You're so right about the writing..I actually forgot to mention that in my post. But some of the passages you picked were favourites of mine too.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
