As much as I enjoy Murakami's writing, sometimes I'd just stop in the middle of the stupidest sentence with so much silly misoginy... I wish he'd stop describing underage girls the way he does, and rather puts that energy into more description of magical realism elements. But overall, although it took me a while, I still liked the flow and the plot, and I'm excited to continue.
