Okay.

After reading The Fault in our Stars, I was searching for something that had a lot of substance and made me think. This book didn't fail to disappoint as I finished it yesterday, and I am still confused or rather undecided whether I liked the book.

There were some parts where it was really gripping and I really understood what was going on but for the most of it I had no idea what was happening. I hoped for a conclusive ending, but that's not what I got. It actually left me wanting to know more and left me more confused than ever.

Saying that, it makes me understand the surrealism of Murakami's writing, and how dreams are not really linear. The 'trick' to further understanding the riddles hidden in the book is to read it over and over. I feel like delving into the book once was quite a lot to handle, further explaining why it needs to be read more than once. There's so much inside the book that can be discussed, I won't ruin it for anyone so if there are any of you that has some sort of theory as to what this book is about I would love to hear about it, because hearing perspectives is so interesting for me.

I would recommend this book for those that like something completely out of the ordinary and makes you think about your own perspective rather than giving you a straight forward answer. I still question whether I like it due to it being so unordinary. For the moment I am enjoying thinking about all the unanswered questions but not the outcome. I like to be made to think.

I hope to read more of his books in the future like Norwegian Wood or Wind-Up Bird Chronicle as apparently the story connects together more.
