reflective
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.5
3,5 stars. Got me out of a very long reading slump which I appreciate. Enjoyed most of the stories but a couple were weird..in a bad way (especially the ugly woman one, though i liked the plot of it). The baseball one bored me to death, since I have zero interest in it. First Murakami book I've ever read and I was surprised by how easy it was to read, yet so complex at the same time.
