What a rollercoaster. At many times I absolutely hated the book and hated that I was reading it and just wanted to stop reading and never think about it or murakami again. Ton of
rape, underage sex, paragraphs about womens breasts and pubic hair. He’s obsessed or soemthing. So awful.
Other than that I loved it. Reads quickly and keeps you interested. But god, were there some pages I could’ve torn out of the book that wouldn’t have changed the story at all. I would’ve done that with pleasure.
