I predict that the book will go into detail about the narrator on a more personal level. I also predict that the book will go more into Japanese food, culture, and the history of ramen.
The most compelling thing about this book so far is the smooth transitions between the narrator's memoir portions of the book and segments of the book in which we get to see the letters that he wrote to Momofuku Ando, the inventor of instant noodles in a cup. It makes me want to keep going on with the book without it getting dull, still keeping me amazed on how the narrator is on a personal level, creating a sense of relatedness. At that point he is no longer just some narrator of a book, he is a human being with which i can relate with on some level.
