A review by honoured
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami

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

4.0

A tragically incomplete story.
While a beautiful insight into the emotions surrounding rejection, it lacks a necessary conclusion.

I suppose I understand not revealing the final meeting with Sara, but we never learned any more of Haiba. Tsukuru literally reflected that "Haiba is one of the things that are blocking me" (or something of the sort) and yet we never hear from him again.


A great work, yet incomplete.
