I have mixed feelings about this book. It was beautifully written and gave an interesting perspective of young love though I found the pacing to be off at points; finding some parts more fast paced. The characters were complex and had many layers to them which gave the book depth. Furthermore, I didn't feel like I was reading translated fiction as the writing flowed so well, making it an easy reading experience. I definitely plan on reading more by Murakami and is a good place to start with his works.
