Loved this book. Picked it up after liking the cover. It was a page turner and I wasn't bored or able to guess anything that was coming. I normally don't read mystery books but this one made me want to read them more.

Took the book from my college library. Was really enjoying it till I got to a chapter with the name rat in it. That made release it was part of the rat trilogy I have heard about. So I went back and read the previous ones.
They were alright. But this book is on an another level. Really loved reading it. I mostly read it at night so the magical realism parts really cool to read before sleeping. As someone else mentioned here, it's like peering into someone else's dreams.

I really enjoyed this book. It's easily one of my favorite reads this year. While the passive voice felt a bit awkward at first, I adjusted quickly and picked up the pace.
Some readers dislike how the book leaves certain things unexplained, relying on the reader's imagination. Personally, I love that aspect.
One gripe I had was an unnecessary character arc that could have been avoided. Another issue is the less fleshed-out, forgettable side characters.
Overall, though, it’s a great book, and I’m excited to read more rooney. It’s definitely worth a read, if only for the unique writing style.

One of the worst books I have ever read. It was alright at start but it was such a fast descent to trash. Like forgiving the abuse was bad enough but having a baby with the abuser and having to deal with him. God what a shitty novel.
I get it's inspired from the authors life but still doesn't make these things right.The abuser is based on the author's father, so obviously she will try to paint down the issue. But it's so unacceptable. The novel borderline romanticise abuse.
Like in real life you most would run and never look back. The novel shouldn't give message like being this forgiving, and breaking the cycle should have had removing the person from your life too.
One good thing the book did is it's making me appreciate other booktok books. I think that it could be so much worse.

It's kinda forgettable. Lot of cliche things and predictable plot. The subtle message of the author is alright. Forget about the expectations of society and live your own life. If you like to read something simple for fun this is an alright book. Other than that nothing special.

The plot is straightforward, and the writing is clear but not particularly remarkable.
It follows a young woman and her journey as a prostitute. It was Intresting to read how she tackled her issues and see how the story will end.
The plot is not that predictable but not innovative either. It’s a decent choice for a light, uncomplicated read.

The book is more relevant than ever in this age of smart things.
We can kind of allude to the current state of constant tracking, targeted ads and a feel of lack in privacy to how the characters are being watched in the novel.
The phrase "Big brother is watching you" has evolved from a mere reference to a haunting reminder of these times.
The novel slow in the start but catches on. It's a really immersive read with us feeling attentive and paying close attention to all the small details.
You feel as if something big is going to go down anytime. The author has done excellent job in conveying what the character might have felt.
There is this real eeriness of being watched that you can feel from reading the book.
Overall the novel is really good and it's one of those must read recommendations from me.

Loved it. Was keeping me interested all the way. Just didn't like the ending. Felt like it ended adrubtly.
It won't keep you bored. Thriller/mystery fans would surely like this book.

This is one of my all time favorites. I am giving a 4 because I have a weird relationship with the book and it's not perfect.
Sometimes I remember the good parts then the bad. But still I all the parts are there in my heart. I can clearly visualise everything.
Stormtrooper, the walks with forests, the food and dates with midori.
The book has some weird stuff though. Like midori at the shrine at home.
Still I highly recommend it. This was my first Murakami and it has been a great journey since.
He made me remember how much fun I had reading as a kid and because of him I am able to enjoy reading like I used to.
It's just something when you find that one book and you just can't put it down. I was missing it and got to relive that feeling with this one.. Can't wait to read all of Murakami.
