The way Murakami writes women is weird and I don't think he even understand what's weird about it.

dark emotional inspiring mysterious reflective sad fast-paced

3.75

I liked it and found it eyeopening towards my own life. I understand some people not liking it, because it's not very Murakami-esk, in the use of magical realism, however the sexual aspect of a Murakami book is very present. I like this about his books but I can understand some people don't like it. The dreams were weird in the beginning, but they gave us a sense of foreshadowing.  However we, the readers, were left to fi ish the puzzle ourself without ever knowing the correct solution - very typical Murakami. Not my favorite, but a good one

no spoilers!!! 
Colourless set my standards for books so much higher! i only recently got into reading and before reading it, i had read 2-3 books trying to get into reading but nothing really drew me in. i just thought was one of those people that couldn’t get into reading. But this changed everything. This book kept me on my toes. Every time i turned a page i didn’t want to stop because of how engaging it was. I’m a pretty slow reader so the fact i got through this book in 2 weeks says something.

Ok my first actual murakami book, I started Kafka on the shore and advidly disliked it (however I would like to reread it as I have matured a lot since then) I really enjoyed this

• I really like how gripping this was despite when you think about nothing really happens
• The character development is so subtle from how he starts eating well and no longer feeling scuicudal
• I really wanted to know what was up with sara
• I also probably really liked this book because I am a lot alike to the main dude
• But what happens to Haida? And what was up with that homoerotic tension twords  the end of their friendship?????
