Contemplative coming-of-age story
I came into this book expecting some light sci-fi, and got instead an introspective book about parenthood and the meaning of family.
The narrative was more difficult than expected grammar-wise. Our brooding and contemplative MC spends a lot of time 1) guessing how other characters are thinking/feeling, 2) speculating about hypothetical events, and 3) considering what the ideal parent/family/society looks like. As a result the book has a lot of complex sentences, and I often needed to re-read the same passage over and over again to figure out its meaning.
I usually enjoy more action-heavy books, so I wouldn't consider 페인트 a page-turner. I think this is a solid book for language learning though; I learned a lot of new vocabulary and was exposed to some more complex grammar. This is also a valuable book for anyone who is a parent or is considering becoming a parent in the future — it'll give you a lot to think about!
