When I finished this book I was Just confused. This is a story for a lot of interpretation. Many Things I surely dont understand, but overall I really enjoyed reading it. The writing and story telling is so immersive it sometimes feels like a fever dream. I never experienced something like this before. It has many many beautiful quotes and passages which really make you think deep about them.
On the other hand what I didn't enjoy was the whole s*x prophecy and the depiction of it. It really made me uncomfortable (maybe that was what he wanted to achieve idk).
Overall I enjoyed it and will pick up other Murakami books!
