The idea of using cats as the characters to be higlighted on is something unique. I found it funny and interesting as I read every chapters of it! The "I have a question Mr. J" section helps me to know some trivias about Junji Ito.

I had my hopes and expectations high toward this book. At first, I found that the story line is quite interesting and enjoyable. I also learn a lot of lessons from here, the words are all magical. However, after it reaches about 100 pages??? it felt boring. Flat. Nothing excites me anymore and I finished it for almost two weeks when in fact the page is less than 200.

AAAAA! Lucu banget. Mulai dari cover yang unik sampai karakter-karakter dalam cerita yang membuat kisah mereka semakin menarik. Menurutku penamaan juga karakter hewan yang digunakan sangat kreatif. Ditambah ilustrasinya yang bikin gemes! Kisah yang disampaikan di buku ini juga sangat informatif. Misal tentang membuang sampah, kegunaan kompas, dan pentingnya olahraga. Penggunaan bahasa Inggris juga menjadi poin plus. Cocok banget untuk segala usia! Anak-anak bisa dan orang dewasa pun bisa untuk hiburan! Maupun ceritain kisah ini untuk anak-anak mereka! :D

Everything about this book is truly beautiful and wonderful. The way Blue Wing always gave her best to fight and her friendship with Maple. At first, I legit thought they wouldn't get along well. I also love how the terms time been mentioned on the book and made me realize a lot of things about it. I also experienced learning some of Papua New Guinea languages thru this book.
The setting-place. The tension. The eagerness. The bond. The time. The tragedy. The ocean. I love it.
