Do you like "When my name was Keoko"?

I do not like "When my name was Keoko", because it is not my type of novel, it has no real suspense, and it is not my taste. I prefer action packed/ suspenseful books, unlike "When my name was Keoko", it is quite short, and about a topic that I am not really interested in. Furthermore, I can not relate to the characters as much as I can with other novels, with details that I find uninteresting. In conclusion, I do not like "When my name was Keoko"

What I visualized when I read "When my name was Keoko"

When I was reading "When my name was Keoko," I visualized Tae-yul flying on the plane, and the glider, and how Omoni wailed when she read the letter sent by Taeyul. I also visualized Tae-yul flying from the base, with everyone saluting him and his crew.
