This book felt like a fever dream. Surreal, weird at times, strangely addictive & beautiful.
Reading it was definitely an amazing experience and I felt completely immersed.

Murakami makes the unusual feel usual, irrationality feel rational.

I had so many emotions after reading the last page, overwhelmed by the beauty of Murakami's storytelling, its strangeness and that feeling of not having understood anything while having in fact understood.

I'm getting some sort of melancholy, even sadness thinking back at it. Like I actually lived this very story and it has now come to an end.

Definitely a great book.
