A review by orionstar109
Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami

challenging reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I went into this book completely blind and founf myself not wanting to put it down after the first 20 pages. 

The only reason I deducted from my rating is due to the author's comments about women in the story. He rarely makes an effort to describe the very few female characters in the story beyond their physical appearance and how the main character reacts to their presence, so -.5 for misogyny
