Very “this happened, and then this happened, and then this”. Loves to end paragraphs with what is meant to be a mic drop but is just cliché. “And then he passed out”, end of chapter. Ok

Extremely disappointed. I’ve been waiting on this book for maybe three years now? I don’t know if the writing is worse or I just don’t like Kawakami as much as I used to. But this is just not good at all. The writing is clunky and the dialogue is unbelievable.

Oh my god does Murakami really hold your hand through all the points he’s trying to make

What is going on I am literally scratching 🤔 my head

Really enjoying this. Picked it up after about a month because of reading other things. Easy to read, but I do dread reading the Nakata sections as they just aren’t as strong in my opinion. I prefer the introspection from Kafka, but I’m expecting it all to pay off

Literally right before I pick this book up I get interested in a specific topic or question, and the next thing I read is specifically about that. I was reading separately about the dissolution of the Templar knights and the next part was about that, and today at work I was wondering how medieval children were treated and the chapter I read tonight was on that!

This book is really pissing me off

IM SO HOOKED
