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.

sunny_not's review against another edition

I just cannot stand his descriptions of women and their bodies. It ruined Norwegian Wood for me and don't get me started on Kafka on the shore. I'm done with his weird and disgusting descriptions of bodies, done with his r*pe scenes and definitely done with the ped*philia.I don't know if I will ever read another Murakami.

aibird's review against another edition

When the teen rode the protagonist in some sort of weird sexual rite to open the door to the realm of the fairies - or whatever that weird supernatural world was - that was the last straw. like, wtf. this is too triggering and it's a long, drawn-out love story of two people that can't meet due to supernatural tidings. The prose was beautifully written but dammit the excessive sex rituals ruined it for me.

This is one of Murakami's darker and scarier works, if you ask me. And definitely worth reading. What a page-turner!
