I had hoped this would be funny, but it was, in fact, extremely tedious.

Another bizarre and twisting tale with no plot and outrageous characters. Dreams and superstitions co-mingle, truth is a golden haze on the sands. The point is not the point.

Very fun book, enjoyed a lot.

One of those books that is really a blog post with a lot of padding.

A wonderfully odd book, I can't tell you what its about (except the Bible), but it was certainly memorable.

I used to love Haruki Murakami, but for whatever reason, his books are not resonating with me they way they once did.

Well written, but somehow ended up feeling trite. Do we need a gimmick to make us understand? I don't think so.

Made me cry and gave me a new found appreciation for trees.

This book is trying really hard to be the American Psycho of the Instagram generation, but has a confused plot and a let-down of an ending. The author doesn't have a good handle on the tension between victim and villain that Mickey is meant to exemplify.

Loved this book: an ode to crafts, apprenticeship and working ‘in the world'.

Lighthearted and made me laugh out loud a couple of times.

It's probably snake oil but it made me feel optimistic about the future!

I really wanted to like this, but it was so random – it felt like a collection of blog posts rather than a book

I love Ishiguro, but I personally thought his other books are better. This one felt quite ‘on the nose'. Nonetheless, he is extremely good at what he does.

Somehow even more gut wrenching the second time.
