A review by erickabdz
Your Name by Makoto Shinkai

3.0

We’ve met before. Or, no, that could be my imagination. It might be just an assumption, something like a dream. It might be a delusion, like past lives. Even so, I—we—wanted to stay together a little longer. We want to be together, just a little more.

I love your name. so much! But, honestly, I loved the movie more. This book was beautiful in the way it could bring to words the eerie feeling of the movie, something that I applaud. It's not easy to put into words somebody that was meant to be seen, and I think in that aspect this does a splendid job. But sadly, for me, that's everything it does, and I was kinda expecting something different than the movie, an extra maybe, but this wasn't it: it felt like watching the movie twice. I don't complain, though, it is an excelent movie!

The next line is a spoiler (if you have not watched the movie) so please stop reading if you have not!
