A review by mahamt
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami

4.0

I am a hardcore Murakami fan! I read his book for the unreal magical world and emotional ride he takes me on. Even before reading this book I knew I won't find any closure because that's now what Murakami books are about. You aren't reading them for the plot or the ending you're reading them for the journey. However, when one of the biggest plot/mystery of the book was solved I was fooled into thinking the smaller plots and questions will be answered too. How foolish of me! Of coarse who won't know whether Tsukuri Tazaki's gf chose him and ofcoarse we won't know why Haida decided to disappear in the middle of the book. Even though it's very common for characters to just appear and disappear in his books.
Overall for a Murakami fan like me this book was a treat. I am slightly surprised at the sense of modernism in his books now. Charcters meeting at Starbucks and texting is certainly not something I'm used to!
