The writing is flowing and personable but still well researched. About half way through I started having nightmares about Sadako. Good times.
This was a completely random read for me. I have no deep interest in the topic and the driving force in reading this was mainly mild curiosity. This was a good book for what it was, but I didn't feel any real passion or deep interest for it. So, I'm not going to rate this, because my lack of enjoyment was mainly my own fault. I recommend this to anyone who's interested in Japanese cat lore or folklore in general.
Exactly what I was hoping to find. Still looking for similar volumes on cultures outside Europe/the US.
