Toshikazu Kawaguchi 3 Books Collection Set [Before the Coffee Gets Cold; Tales from the Cafe & Before Your Memory Fades]

Product Information

Before the Coffee Gets Cold has become an international bestseller and has been adapted for the screen in Japan. Now when I say overly sentimental, I mean the book will pull out any trick to get an emotional reaction from you, short of a child cancer patient caring for a sick kitten. Selling over one million copies worldwide, Before the Coffee Gets Cold was originally an award-winning play written by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, adapted into a series of best-selling, internationally translated novels. It’s the fascinating central conceit that will attract most people, and many will be asking themselves the same question on finishing the book. While this book is slow-moving and heavily reliant on dialogue rather than descriptions (something that I really, really enjoy but others may not like), I absolutely fell in love with the story and the little lessons woven into each narrative.

We give our best to give you the best book but in some cases we have to adjust few pages which are blur or missing or black spots. The author shows us that hope is one of the most important things in our life via these two characters. In the end I feel would work fine as a TV series (with hopefully a more progressive messaging at its core) but failed as a book. Perhaps if the stories had varied a little more, or the rules weren’t quite as stringent allowing for more trepidation in the experiences, I would have felt more satisfied.

If I didn’t have stacks of other Japanese authors yet to read i would go for it but it doesn’t sound like it deserves to bump them out of my list.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi features four interwoven stories set in the retro Funiculi Funicula Café in Japan – a café that is not only popular for its aromatic brew but one that is the subject of an urban legend as the “ café that transports you back in time”.

Because it is the umpteenth time I picked it up and yet, it's time to accept the fact that this book is just not for me. Having it as a novel does give more insight into the characters and provide backstory and context, but so much was already done well with the dialogue it feels almost unnecessary. It was bittersweet, endearing, and touching to see people from all walks of life try to reconnect with loved ones where they learn that they might not be able to completely fix the past, but they can learn from it and be touched by it.Sie müssen mit den Produkten, die Sie stornieren möchten, angemessene Sorgfalt walten lassen und dürfen sie nicht verwenden. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. Also, why was there not ONE man- NOT A SINGLE MAN who time traveled to fix things or made a sacrifice? In addition, the conversations between the time travellers and those they want to see are the key to the book, and the novel’s origins as a play are clear here, with everything else there to support these pivotal scenes.

This is the fourth and latest book with Toshikazu Kawaguchi inviting us back once more to Cafe Funiculi Funicula to meet four new visitors with four intriguing time-travelling stories, including a man who lived without regret until his wife was brain damaged, realising he regretted never telling her how she made him feel, and a woman who couldn’t answer a proposal. But there are as many curious and magical details to the time travel itself as there are characters to meet. Even if there are strict measurements set in place making it seem almost pointless to even take part in the activity? When you choose your UNBORN child over your wife, the apparent Love of your life, you essentially show her how replaceable she is.For months upon months, I've eyed this book, wanting to dive into its story, and, now, I'm so glad that I did. Before the Coffee Goes Cold has a lot of mechanical and thematic issues that didn’t work for me, but overall it succeeds as being a cozy and emotionally taxing read. I have just picked up a library copy because the premise sounds so enticing, but I doubt that I will bother with it now.
