A book of two halves for me. Literally. Tengo was such a bore. He had no character or personality. Aomame on the other hand was very interesting. The same thing is told to the multiple times with only a tiny bit of new information added each time. I found this quite frustrating at times. I guess it served to slow down the pace to add tension but I mostly found it annoying. Despite all these nagging points I did finish this because I find the story to be very intriguing. I just hope Tengo finds a personality in the next book.

I couldn't get in to it. Not sure if it was the translation but I found it laboured on and whole passages I would find myself skipping over. I love the ideas but it was so slow building. Also the descriptions of sex in particular felt really unnecessary alot of the times. Not going to the read the rest of the series.

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.
