I don't get how some people can find this shit good like... why is Murakami writing about

1, a fifteen-year-old kid's penis so often;
2, a fifteen-year-old kid getting a hand job from a grown woman;
3, the same woman who said she wants to be his legitimate sister!!;
4, and to top it off, poor cats being disected alive like...??????

I genuinely can't see what's so enjoyable in this.

Maybe it's just me, but I think if you enjoyed The Master and Margarita, this is another good one.

This book is really strange and I don’t know how to feel. Some parts I really did not enjoy reading and I don’t know why anybody would think it’s a good idea to write that down and publish it. But overall it was kind of a great book? Definitely loved the idea of different worlds and how that was done, but I think I’d be scared of recommending it to anyone because I don’t want people to think I’m sick. I am confused.

Having finished this book I don't quite know what to make of it. I think I enjoyed it, it certainly kept me reading. I found it slow but intriguing. I also however felt there was unnecessary overuse of violence and sexual content. I was wondering how it was all going to come together in the end but I felt I got to the end and had no idea what happened. I think I need some time to dwell on the book and what I think of it.
