The Cat Who Saved Books

The love for books and the way you take care of them and the way you think of books and the perspective changes after reading these books. It brings back the real reader book lover in you.

The story begins with the demise of Rintaros grandpa who was his only guardian. His grandpa owned a second hand bookshop where one can find the second hand classics and best novels of various periods. Rintaro loves reading books but he was aloof and an introverted person who believes that he doesn't have any talents and was not going to his high school after his grandfather's death. All the last rites were done with help of his distant relative aunt who will come back to take him to her city.

Are you thinking about when the cat will come into the picture? Will come in a few moments. There are few schoolmates like his class rep Sayo and his senior who cared for him and visited the bookshop once in a while to check on him. He thought at first it was a dream seeing a cat in his bookstore which was talking to him and asking for help to save the books.

Half Heartedly he accepts to help the cat and goes to the labyrinth. He successfully saves the books that are imprisoned. Each time we read a book we find something new and understand a few more things from it. Atlast, The Tabby cat was one who made him a confident guy who can speak up.

I loved the way the author has translated this great work.

There were four labyrinths from where he saved the books and have different stories to it. I loved the way Rintaro answered those people who questioned each labyrinth. Books can give us knowledge, wisdom, values, a view of the world and so much more. The joy of seeing things in a whole new way. Books have tremendous Power“.
