juliafranzis's review against another edition

1.5

Everything I usually like about Murakamis books wasn't to be found in this one.
I was disturbed, but not as usual in an interested way, but rather disgusted. The way women are described and how their characters are written just freaks me out. Nonetheless I finished the book but at some point I started to hate-read it.

Bizarre, brilliant, tragic and unique. A fantastically written book but often times very literal. Very very very good (I didn’t realise just quite how heavy going this book is until I did the trigger warnings)
