Note
this book felt like a Haruki Murakami younger adult novel in more ways than one.
i didnt realize this was a sequel, but i could tell that there was a lot more to tigers and rintaros story. i dont think ill read it, but im happy to know their adventures got more pages.
as for this book, what a wild ship to build an argument against incessant accumulation of wealth. something a child can see but less so when you grow up, and people stop telling you what maybe you should hear.
the gray man is everywhere. our friend and our downfall.

Description
an uplifting tale from Japan about a talking cat and the power of books to make a difference in the world. Nanami Kosaki loves reading. The local library has become a home from home. Books are her friends. When Nanami notices that some of her favourite books are disappearing from the library shelves, she becomes suspicious of a man in a grey suit whose furtive behaviour doesn't feel right. Should she follow him to see what he's up to? It wouldn't be dangerous . . . would it? When a smart-talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and issues a grave warning about how dangerous that would be, they decide to team up and investigate. Where have all the books gone? And can the unlikely duo overcome the challenges ahead? Translated from Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai. * The Cat Who Saved the Library was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 19.04.25
