Botchan | Soseki Natsume

Pickpick

⭐️ 3/5

Botchan gives a sneak peek into the Japan from it's era. I could not connect to the book though. Excruciatingly slow pace. It would have been wonderful if read in it's original language. Wordplay puns and colloquial references seem to be a tool that the author resorted to often. In conclusion, the book's charm was lost in translation.

My recommendation : Read it in Japanese or find a better translation.
