It's perfect in my eyes because it reminds me of stories with morals that I read as a child. This was certainly dark but had a message that uplifts your day suddenly. It gives you perspective to not hold on to grudges. It makes you want to call your friends and thank them. The story also gives a im ortant lesson that his certainly hard to grasp. It shows the idea of self reliance is not only about serving your needs physically. It's more at a deeper emotional level. Thinking of spirituality and solace and making peace with yourself is evident throughout the novel.

Writing and world building is not as deep as murakami and often is described without distinct character or style but in my opinion style is not necessary and better avoidable when writing about spirituality.

Definitely will recommend it too everyone
