Book 1 was so slow-paced that I almost gave up reading it. When I began book 2, it felt like things were finally happening. Still, universe building and scene setting shouldn't take so much time.
In addition to that, I gave these books a 3/5 because Murakami's depictions of women made me uncomfortable. Women and their connection to men in these books are nothing but a relief or an escape for men. It made me quite confused and disgusted, more often than not. So, yes, I absolutely do not like how he writes women. So if you're going into this, be prepared.
