Příběh ve mně vyvolal strašně moc pocitů a rozhodně nad knížkou budu ještě dost přemýšlet. Nemusím znát originál na to, abych mohla vychválit český překlad. Asi vlastně nemám slov.

With a single book Murakami has become one of my all time favorite authors. It took me 10 days to read this book but I wish it took me longer. I feel like I didn't spend enough time with every single word he wrote.

I could tell this book would have me doing mental gymnastics. Also every time he mentioned being attracted to a girl and then wondering if it was his sister…

Oh. My. God. I couldn’t put this book down! What an incredible story, somewhat of a mindfuck , but I LOVED this book!!

I’m so sad I didn’t love this book as much as I thought I would. I really wanted to love it but for some reason I just couldn’t connect with the story and the characters felt shallow. I might just be in a Murakami-writing-style-reading-slump but this book felt so ugly
