a tale for the time being // ruth ozeki
really enjoyed this book. at first i thought it would be realistic, im not sure when it got supernatural, i feel like stuff snuck in and i didnt notice until it was right in your face.
it didnt go the way i thought it would but i was very entertained nonetheless. i see a lot of people didnt care for ruth's story. i agree it could drag a little but i didnt mind it so much, though nao's story is more interesting. i don't think it would have been as interesting without ruth though, the context of the tsunami and the diary being a message in a bottle is what makes nao's part more interesting. without the context its basically
Books ive read !!! I am not a good reviewer, i either like it or don't finish it.
