Not a bad book but the manga is way better and the movie is much more easy too understand and I love them so

Bleh. Watch the movie, read the novel and I pretty sure I didn't like either of them.

داستان عالی بود ۴ از ۵
ترجمه خیلی خوب بود ۴ از ۵
ویراستاری افتضاح بود(شاید یه بخشیش به خاطر فرمت epub بودن کتاب باشه ولی غیر از اون غلط املایی و نوشتاری کم نداشت) ولی در حدی نبود که چیزی از داستان جا بمونه.
اولای داستان یه کمی معمولی و کم‌هیجان بود ولی از وسطاش فوق‌العاده جذاب شد.
خلاصه حسن ختام خوبی برای سال ۹۸ بود اگر دنبال ترکیبی از فانتزی و عاشقانه با چاشنی فرهنگ ژاپنی هستید حتما پیشنهاد می‌شه. انیمه‌ای هم با این داستان ساخته شده که می‌رم ببینم >:)

As a book, your name, is frankly unremarkable— this was my first thought. Though I mean that with all my love. It is unremarkable and unfluffy but endlessly beautiful. As Makoto Shinkai says in the afterword, "your name worked best as an animated film."
This book was special to me because the film is special to me, because the story is special to me. I'm often waiting myself, saying, "just a little longer," and this book made me feel seen. It was a joy to read and see and feel this story again through a new lens.
If I had read this book without my established love for the film and story, I don't think it would havs affected me so much. It's certainly meant as a companion to the orginal film. Still, it made me feel deeply and desperately, and I cherish it greatly for that.
Also, a recommendation for anyone reading this— listen to the soundtrack while you do... it made the experience all the more special for me. As Genki Kawamura says in the reflective essay at the back of this novel, "Makoto Shinkai's works always have splendid music." And while the film is more obviously musical, I don't think the RADWIMPS soundtrack is at all divorced from the book either.
Anyway, I love this story; read it, watch it, it's beautiful.
