beautifully written. murakami is a wonderful storyteller who makes great use of language, and the translation was simply gorgeous. however, not much happens plot-wise as we are mainly just following toru watanabe as he fucks his way through tokyo and falls a little more in love with his dead bestfriend's ex-girlfriend and this taken girl who says the most out of pocket shit ever. this book is also horny as fuck. 4/5 stars
