my take: I ordered this without really having any idea what it was about. When checking out on Amazon this was a suggested read (people who read this also read…)

Somehow I didn’t clue into the fact that it’s a translation from Japanese. The author could have been American …. it started out talking a bit about baseball, so I imagined it in the U.S. … until I realized the team names weren’t all lining up.

The beauty of mathematics, baseball, and kindness are the main subjects of this very quiet and interesting novel….something completely different.

my take: quiet, good read
