Alltså haha. Hur är det möjligt att nämna bröst i varenda kapitel utan att det har någonting alls att göra med handlingen?? Ploten var så spännande men det gick inte att ta boken seriöst på grund av all objektifiering av kvinnor. Älskade första hundra sidorna men sen gick det utför. Har svårt att se att jag skulle läsa de andra två delarna tyvärr. Önskar mer magisk realism och mindre sexism/ objektifiering.

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.
