The writing style is good and descriptive in a pleasant way but the dialogues are often quite direct. Overall I did want to continue reading the vook and find out what would happen next but I did not particularly enjoy reading it.Â

Actually I really liked all the female characters, though they all more or less were also used as vessels for fulfilling the author's sexual fantasies â especially Midori, her personality at times was so pick-me-girly for the sole purpose of getting Watanabe's sexual attention.
This one was a re-read, and I must say I felt it so much more now at 20 â the main characters' age â than when I first read it at 16 years old. I've read all Murakami's novels, and even though I kind of miss the magical realism that was almost nonexistent in this book, it didn't really need it either as it was deep enough just like this. I just wish the metaphor of the "well" Naoko talked about in the beginning had appeared later on in the story, it should have had a greater purpose. Overall a very melancholic yet great reading experience, but for your own good, do consider skipping this if things related to suicide trigger you.
