Bizarre, brilliant, tragic and unique. A fantastically written book but often times very literal. Very very very good (I didn’t realise just quite how heavy going this book is until I did the trigger warnings)

It’s overly sexual even when it’s not necessary for the plot or to understand the characters. Some relationships and their sexual activities made me extremely uncomfortable. I wish the women in this book had more of a role than just being there to pleasure the guy. 
But I like Murakamis way of writing and there is always something or someone to relate to (even when it’s just in one line).
