This book reminded me of a mix of Moonrise Kingdom, meets Everything, Everywhere all at once, meets The Boy and the Heron

It's like fine wine.
Everyone won't like it.
You will have to read some other stuff,other classic books, a taste of magic realism and all that before you get here.
The ending is criticised by many but once you start reading it you will understand the flow, how the story is and by the time you reach the end you will understand why it ends like that even though you might not agree to the ending. Hell, you might not like the whole story but the time won't surely be wasted.
I highly recommend it to one and all.

This book is really strange and I don’t know how to feel. Some parts I really did not enjoy reading and I don’t know why anybody would think it’s a good idea to write that down and publish it. But overall it was kind of a great book? Definitely loved the idea of different worlds and how that was done, but I think I’d be scared of recommending it to anyone because I don’t want people to think I’m sick. I am confused.

Twórczość Murakamiego nie jest mi potrzebna w życiu. Tobie prawdopodobnie też. Być może nikomu nie jest potrzebna.
