I could not connect to this book. The story is so random, yet also predictable. The dialogues felt forced, and there are many loose ends. Maybe I'd like Murakami's other works, though? I'm keeping my mind open.

Like many Murakami books, the ending feels a bit unresolved. Also there are some HEAVY themes in this book, so watch out.
