This is probably one of the weirdest books I’ve ever read. I feel like I would have said “wtf” a lot less if I had a reading buddy. But a lot of this books made me go “wtf” in both a good and a very bad way.

I have mixed feelings on it honestly and I would only recommend this book so my friends can be confused and disturbed with me.

A very poignant take on the passage of time and the death of a human through the lens of an old man and a 15 year old boy. Murakami creates one of the strangest worlds I’ve read, from talking cats to colonel sanders the pimp, there wasn’t a boring moment. As always, murakamis portrayal of women is not good, and there are a few scenes that threw me for a loop.
