Reading about the difficult early years of both Satoru and Nana, how they found each other and stayed together till the end simply welled my eyes up. Honestly, I was a bit envious of their relationship and also of the writing. How can one write so wonderfully in simple language? The translation was quite wonderful as well. I wonder what it would have been to read it in Japanese and how I would have felt about the book. Maybe I would have cried harder. Yes, this book will stay with me for quite some time.If you are looking for a light, cosy, and heartwarming read, please do pick this one up.

A pretty fascinating novel about life in general, the unexpected turns in people's lives, the people they meet, and the locations they end up written from the perspective of a cat and a few other characters.A quirky, moving, and melancholy novel that was originally written in Japanese. At times in the beginning of this work, you might find it to be a bit overly basic, but stick with it—it will capture your interest. The story is told from the viewpoint of Satoru Miyawaki and his devoted cat Nana, who was given this name because the Japanese character for the number seven looks like his tail.

This is such a magical piece of art:the writing is simple and peaceful;it's humorous but not too exaggerated;and the unexpected plot twist towards the end surprises the readers as well as makes them emotional. Beautiful. Highly recommend.

The quality of the book and print is good. The book in itself is amazing. Sweet, funny, heartbreaking and wholesome at the same time. Wonderful writing as well. One of my favorites ❤️

I literally bawled my eyes out reading this book. The relation between the cat Nana and his Owner Satoru is beautifully depicted in this book... Nana is actually a savage, sassy cat and a well behaved one too... He loves his owner soo much and vice versa.... Now I'm not gonna explain more , do read this book... I was on a rollercoaster ride of emotions while reading this

Beautifull and heart touching story, A Must read book for All the cat lovers or even animal lovers as well , emotional yet profound book indeed.Heart Warming, beautifull, superb storyline and a kind of book with simple but significant life lessons as well .

I picked up this book because it's from a cat's perspective and I thought that's interesting. Also the book has such great reviews. The book has a lot of emotional moments. Also the cat's reactions are written in a quite funny way. But to be honest I thought the book was average. Maybe the essence of the book was lost in translation. The writing style is too simple. The story is predictable and not quite gripping.
