A review by mjnotrey
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced

2.75

I DNFed the Kindle version because I felt like I was wasting my time on a long, slow, meandering story that didn’t seem to have a point. I then realized I had added this title to a reading challenge, so I finished it by audiobook. There were parts I liked, but I’m not sure it was worth it in the end. I also was put off by the interactions between the adult protagonist and a 17 year old girl.
