Disappointed and Confused

So this is a “novelization” of the Netflix series. I expected it to add depth and complexity to the series, but it somehow has less of both. And it’s a bit too mushy for my tastes. It also ends at the wedding, which I was surprised and confused by, because the first season continues long after the wedding… and there’s no sequel that I could find. I didn’t hate it. It was an enjoyable listen, but the series is better. The series is one of the best things I’ve seen, and so well done. This novel felt like a stripped down version of it.

I personally loved the narration. I thought both narrators performed the story with eloquence. It’s a fascinating story that tells of the dark history between the Americans and Japanese, one I had not previously known. Warning, it will likely make you cry. I actually don’t think a book has ever made me cry so hard.

Phenomenal book, if you like sobbing hysterically. But no really, absolutely incredible story, very well written.
