A deeply odd book.
Yeong-he decides to become vegetarian in a society who doesn't except such as a choice of life. As the madness within awakenes, let's just say everything gets stranger from here!
Brought up a vegetarian in the UK, I don't know what I thought the novel was going to be about. Whatever it was, I definitely didn't think it'd end the way it did...

The best free from recipe book I've come across

I read this book as a child and loved it but returning to it now, I just don't understamd the appeal. I had hoped to be scared or to love the characters but I'm just not sure. And the ending? Far too abrupt, it wasn't that I really wanted to read on, more that I felt there was a page missing!
This said, still a classic ghost story with all the original tropes. Perhaps in today's age of horror films, this original story just doesn't live up as it used to.

Keiko is a woman who doesn't know how to be. Working in a convenience store, she's happy with her routine. Until she tries to become 'more of a woman' to get her friends off her back about marriage and her age.
Not an exciting read but an interesting one, at times very sad. I rated it three stars out of five when I finished reading it a year ago and yet Keiko's world is a world I still think about now...

Perhaps good for someone newly diagnosed but not the first book I'd recommend to someone. Not as up to date as it could be.

Another fantastic book from Tilly. Easy to read instructions with patterns in the back cover.
