1.0

Slow, repetitive and predictable. On top of that, every female character is written either in cringe and belittling ways or downright horrendously misogynistic. Every single chapter there are gratuitous sexual descriptions and abusive episodes happening that add nothing to the story. If this is Murakami I don't know why people recommended it so much.

I cant tell if it is the worst book ive ever read or my favorite. I feel like i want to reread it but the 1000 pages were a struggle and I dont think i could read it again for a very long time.

the most unrealistic part of this book wasn’t the two moons in the sky, or the

weird cult that makes doppelgängers of young girls,

or the parallel universe thing. it was that

aomame is supposedly heterosexual
