SO SO SAAAAAAD

4 star

although he had a wife for decades someone who loved him cared for his parents raised his children,he didn’t really get to know her until the very end not knowing that it was the end
He talks about a homeless man who is killed by children, googled that to find out in the 90s. It was a thing in Tokyo, that children, middle school high school would kill homeless people “for fun” “relieve stress”

because his 60s they were better off his wife had saved money. They were comfortable enough and then one morning he woke up and she would usually already be awake and she wasn’t. He went to shake her and she was cold, and his wife passed away in her sleep, and he had had seven years with her but previous to that of the 30+ years before being married, he hadn’t even been able to spend a total year with her.

After being away from home for many years, leaving when he was 12 he returned home late 50s early 60s I don’t remember the exact age he was finally able to be home with his wife, but at that point his daughter was grown and out of the house with her own family, and he had never been able to be right. His son, and in youth almost had passed away, so he was with his wife And a friend told him consider it a honeymoon

He’s been working since he was 12 away from home because his family to have a lot of money so he started working young. He has a wife has two children that he does not see often at all. His son died when he was 21 he had recently just passed his radiology exam, and then short time later, he was found dead in his apartment, and then, although his wear in the 90s, his parents then passed away

Who the sound of traffic to the people has met through the history of the park that he lives in the history of the monuments in the museums that’s around him the wars that have happened other people have passed away in his life in or in his community

He transitions from talking aboutwhen he is alive to a time looking online, not being alive sporadically throughout the book there’s no clear indication you just know as you’re reading the next sentence, and he talks about those little things in life that you look back on you remember you see like people watching or hear otherwise conversation understand what’s going on other peoples lives The sound of traffic

Everything happens. This is me and the story starts and he’s already dead and he’s reflecting on life and that itself can be fine and that way it’s very literary fiction. Slice of life which I do enjoy those types of books so even though it’s very sad for me. I am enjoying it and he goes through talking in and out of him being alive and him not being alive.

This book is so sad to an unreal degree for me personally because I do not read sad books not only do not read often I don’t read them. I don’t know the saddest book I’ve read in the last two or three years that I’ve gotten back into reading because I don’t recycle books nothing against them that’s just never what I’m going for

That’s really funny. They say they have to the sea of monsters and mention that it’s the same sea that Odysseus had to sail through, which is a reference to the Odyssey
And when they explain where it’s at, he said it’s a Mediterranean Sea and that humans have a name for it and said it’s a Bermuda triangle
That was cute, I thought that was funny.

Definitely thought this is me a fun lighthearted, silly goofy Reed similar to the rainfall market. It is not my understanding. The main character is dead and looking back on people who are still alive, reminiscent nostalgic, sad.
I’m not sure how he died yet. I’m not completely sure that he’s even dead but yeah.

2.5 star this was a very basic read for me never super crazy or stand out happened. I started reading as a suggestion for my sister, because I didn’t have any background knowledge on Greek gods or Roman god and wants to start reading the Iliad. I didn’t think it was cool that one of the teachers actually tells Percy Jackson, to read the Iliad

That was a good book like that 50¢ Curtis Jackson was the one to read the audiobook, I liked listening to his voice. I think the book has a lot of really good things. I like that he added personal stories to everything talked about the book wasnt super complex, but there were good takeaways and reminders
Such as importance of work, giving back, fighting for what you worth, and staying positive

And not just get a bunch of money and then sit on it and greet and then think you’re better than somebody else because you were able to get it happening in other people lives and you have to give you should give and you should give willingly

To have yo get the people try to guilt trip you you don’t have to get to people because they feel like you got it so they don’t have to go get it for themselves you never have to give it to anybody, but you should get to Better help children community people that are in people who need assistance just a little bit of help now

It’s not feel guilty for not giving an access to those. He just asked for just because you have it you don’t owe anyone anything and you’ll have to give anything. Doesn’t matter what their relation to you is how long they’ve known you what you did for somebody else and which gift course you don’t have to get the people ever but you also don’t have to give to people just because they ask you you dont

Just finished listening to this audiobook while I was walking around the friendly part very pretty day and I did enjoy listening to this audiobook. The fortunate that I listen to today talked about the importance of giving back well that’s the Charity philanthropy ran of people on the street because It’s good to get back.
