iliyenzio 's review for:

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
1.75
lighthearted relaxing fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The concept of this novel ended up being much more engaging than the novel itself. Perhaps the translation wasn't as good as it could have been? Or the writing style wasn't effective for these kinds of short stories? Either way, I felt let down by this book.
