Impressive partMy impressive part was the explana-

tion of the paint. It gave me some dreamlike feeling. I think it will be solved at the last of the book.

My opinionThis book’s level is not very easy to me. But I

think I can over reading. A years ago, I read this book’s translation, and I got a big move-ment. So I choose this book. This novel is bil-dungsroman( 성장소설 ). And it’ll give me a good chance to establish myself.

The end

Thank you
