Actually, that's very interesting because the author includes a foreword in which he discusses the way that breath becomes part of us all as we inhale. I therefore think that 'Air' was the focus and the rest were complementary :)

That kind of makes sense. It also matches up a bit with a novel that I read recently... 8)

I will never remember it because it's Japanese and I heard it ages ago, before I ever started learning Japanese officially ;)

Sorry!

Thanks! :mrgreen:

Actually, it was very close to being a 3. I struggled for quite a while with it, but I think it got the right score :)

Thanks for the insightful review! I also struggle sometimes with which rating to give, particularly when choosing between 2 and 3 stars. I wish there were a magic "grey area" score to give for the books that hang in that grey area between 2 and 3.

I agree. Being able to give half a star would be so much better! :)
