If cats disappeared from world

Published on

If Cats Disappeared from the World is an light novel by Genki Kawamura.

It depicts the life-death situation of a person, who in-return to live a day makes something disappear from the world. The novel shows a thought-provoking idea of, “what’s life worth it” or how much meaning it carries.

The reviews spoke as sober one, but I did not feel any depressing moment about story. But the lesson and points definitely are reflective on life. The major good thing about the book is, English translation and writing style is easy and friendly. I would not recommend movie as such, but the gist is shown very well there

The ending was kinda cliffhanger, but did not end as in climax. It suddenly closed off. Again I think back, it seemed that the book itself might be the letter he was writing for his father or in some way. But sure ending is confusing.

Three days of happiness and this one is kinda one of my best reads.
