Book 25: Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Toshikazu Kawaguchi


I liked the premise of this (a coffee shop where you can travel in time, but only for the length of a cup of coffee) and I liked the idea of the characters in the story, but the book didn't quite live up to the ideas for me - something about the writing style never quite clicked for me. I don't know if this was an issue with translation or just style. It wasn't a bad book at all, but it did lack the lyrical flow that, for me at least, makes a book great.
