Rating Sources
The book is highly praised for its overall quality, with one reader describing it as "wonderful" and "very good." It has a significant impact, even inspiring a desire to visit Barcelona, highlighting its ability to evoke strong imagery and perhaps a sense of place. The original English version, in particular, was noted for providing a smooth and enjoyable reading experience.
However, the Japanese translation received some criticism. While acknowledged that the translation itself might be technically proficient, the reading experience in Japanese was described as less enjoyable compared to the English original. This was primarily due to the translated prose feeling "persistent" or "wordy," which is attributed to the common challenge of translating unique foreign expressions, leading to a less fluid narrative flow in the translated version.
Despite the reservations regarding the translation, the book is ultimately deemed "wonderful" by the reviewer. This suggests that the core story and its impact are strong enough to overcome stylistic preferences in translation. Readers who appreciate immersive stories that can transport them to different locations, or those looking for a compelling narrative, would likely enjoy this book. For the smoothest and most enjoyable experience, readers who are comfortable with English might consider reading it in its original language.
