I really loved this book. It is reflective, you see the world through a man who thinks he’s colorless and boring person. There’s some thinking about the line between reality and dreams, how something that you try to ignore/forget comes to you in one way or another and how you have to accept the things you can’t change. It has themes like depression, loneliness, friendships, trauma, abandonment and music. You see so clearly, without any filters to the maincharacters mind and it is so facinating! It normalizes humanity.

I've read this and 1Q84, and both had similar themes so I was not too impressed by this one. I did enjoy the lack of pedophilia though.

I’ve been recommended Norwegian Wood more times than I can count, but I decided to read this as my first Murakami book. A saddening story about loosing friendships- taking time to heal, and eventually returning back home to seek out those past friends. An emotional, reflective story full of complex, colourful characters. Despite how sad the themes could get, Murakami’s writing style is beautiful and warm.

predictable murakami if that’s your thing. What it has 

• sad young man who get way to hung up on old friendships
• women that are nothing more than a pair of boobs 
• Trains

What it lacks

• Any form of character development 

I didn’t hate it it’s just more or less exactly what I expect every Murakami book to be
