This is probably the only Haruki Murakami book that I read and finished so far. I read this back when I was a struggling depressed college student and I remember liking the book despite all its faults. I am not sure if I will have the same opinion now but I have never actually been a fan of any Haruki Murakami's works so if you are this probably isn't the review for you.
I remember hating a lot of the characters and thinking they were either very bland, one dimensional or annoying with no purpose. I remember liking the atmosphere the book gave out, maybe that was what I related to at that time. I also remember not liking when the focus shifted mid-way to his love life but not enough to hate it or stop reading the book... Maybe because it was obvious that it would? I am not so sure, I have forgotten.
