My first book by Haruki Murakami and I could not have been gifted a better option. 

To me this books revealed that those who seem as if they live the most simple, average lives have more that gnaws at them that meets the eye. That every possible being has a story to tell of the past. 
Along with this the most important lesson that I took from Tsukuru's life is that closure is the key to moving forward, and that everyone needs closure from the ghouls that haunt us even without knowing and that  sometimes we need others to help us realise these things. All of these valuable lessons are seen in the life of the suposably "Colourless" Tsukuru Tazaki.

Everyone has a colour in them, even when it can't be seen by the bearer.
