This book reminded me of a mix of Moonrise Kingdom, meets Everything, Everywhere all at once, meets The Boy and the Heron

I did not like this book. It did not sit well with me. I don't care that certain scenes are meant to be metaphors - they are gross.

3.0

A trippy combo of Catcher in the Rye and Oedipus Rex. Slow moving at times. Not sure what the takeaway was supposed to be.

bookishphase's review against another edition

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.
