Mlie ReadsUnder the eye of the big bird by Hiromi Kawakami 🇯🇵
The opening chapters had my full attention. I flew through the chapters. I’m a reader who enjoys not knowing, guessing, pondering. The negative with this is my imagination typically is better than the story I end up reading. The ending was a little meh, but still opened to for things to consider. The story as such fits right into my current thinking about the world and what is and isn’t worthy of our time.
For me this was a page turner. It is one of the better books of the International Booker longlist, for me.
But my favourite is The Book of Disappearance. A book so good I still haven’t been able to write a post that is worthy of it.
