Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

I'm not going to lie this was a hard read for me. This was my first book by Haruki Marukami and I thought I could just jump right in any book but apparently I was wrong about that, and that's partly my fault. This book was just so confusing to me until the end but even at the end I never fully understood. I don't even think it's possible to give a summary on this book but to give you an idea it follows two plotlines: one based in reality-ish?? And one based in a more fantasy type world and they really don't come together until around a quarter through the book.
The plot was interesting; I never got bored reading it but most of my time spent reading I was just confused and that's probably more telling of me as a person than the book but it's my personal opinion haha. I did enjoy the ending when it mostly tied everything together and for that I'll give it 2.5/5 !:)
if you already like Murakami and are familiar with him you would probably enjoy this more than I have so don't let my review turn you away from it!
