An instant bestseller when it was first published in Japan, Train Man became a multimedia sensation, generating a smash-hit TV series, a blockbuster film, and multiple manga series. Now here's the novel that started it all.That part at the back of the book caught my attention. This book must be good :D So I continued reading...
Boy-- bashful and not overly brave --- defends girl from obnoxious drunk on a Tokyo train. Girl sends boy a thank-you pair of pricey Hermès teacups. Boy's a geek and doesn't know what to do next. End of story for most nerds -- but this one turns to the world's largest online message board and asks for help, so for him it's just the beginning. This matchless love story is told as a series of Internet chatroom threads: As Train Man, our hero charts his progress and unveils each new crisis -- from making conversation to deciding what to wear on a date, and beyond. In return, he receives advice, encouragement, warnings, and sympathy from the anonymous netizens. And Train Man discovers the secret to what makes the world go round -- and proves we really do live in a universe where anything can happen.hmm It was really interesting. And knowing myself as a hopeless romantic person who likes reading hopeless romantic kind of stuffs too. And what's more, he's into the internet and was "geeky" too. I decided to get it. haha I might get some dating lessons from it too ;)
Reading through Chapter 1, I'm having fun reading it. Funny and smart. ;)
You guys should get this book too ;)
