Well this was odd yet interesting.
It has this subtle feeling of dread as well as some really spooky moments. (The parts with the mirrors kind of freaked me)

Murakami is someone who can tell a story with so much tension so lowkey slow that it’s hard to put down the book because one needs to know what’s going on!!

Would recommend! :-)

Another fantastic Murakami book. I loved the audience POV approach this book took and the ways in which it constantly addressed the reader as if they were sitting at home watching a movie. The book also did an amazing job at weaving together a host of different stories the at different times interconnected and at other times went their own way. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a great read.
