Murakami messing with my mind again. A mystery that isn't a mystery. No clues to unravel, no startling conclusions. He'll bring the reader to a moment that seems momentous, and then slyly let it be mundane. And just to be absolutely clear about that, he'll address what you might think he's getting at and tell you point blank that's not what it is. Or you'll think you see a big plot twist and he'll say, nope, it's really what it appears to be. Somehow he fills this stark series of short chapters with lush cinematic details, complete with a playlist of tunes playing in the background of each scene. Or intense silence.

At the beginning of the book I thought that it was going to be dull and it would take me a long time to read it but by the middle of the book I was so intrigued I finished it so fast. The end was genuinely beautiful. This was the first Murakami book i read and I love the way he writes and how different and odd some of the things he says are, but i hate the way he describes women in a lot of his writing. I have read other Murakami books and I have a love hate relationship with them because he’s a genius in his writing but the sexuality is not needed and uncomfortable.
