Help me out here. Please. I mean, I have loved a whole host of Murakami novels: Hard Boiled Wonderland, Wind-Up Bird, Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore, all amazing works which I would strongly recommend reading to others. But why is this so well reviewed? Please help me understand. How can people be satisfied with this (and ultimately the end of the book which riled me in such a way that no other ever has). This was mostly due to the fact I was really enjoying the book, excited by the end, intrigued as to the big deliver. Akin to how Tsukuru took Sara back to his place for a night of passion, only to become impotent at the point of love making, I suffered the very same anticlimax at the hands of Murakami! handling it far far worse than Sara! :) One reviewer ventured that perhaps a case of The Emperor’s New Clothes was justly becoming applicable to the high accolades each new Murakami book receives and I am inclined to agree with her. An author’s name is not a guarantee of quality, and quality is the measure of everything, I believe (hat tip to Phadreus and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance). So again, I ask for help. How can we be happy with the end? How can we be left not knowing who or how Shiro was raped/murdered? Why Haida disappeared in the same way the others had and it not being another avenue Tsukuru should explore? What was the point of the pianist who could pass on death? What were the relevance of Tsukuru’s dreams to reality? Who was Sara with? Why she was so interested in Tsukuru working out his problems when she was apparently with someone else anyway? Yes, life is like that, many things never become clear to us. But where is the quality in a story that has loose ends? Life has loose ends. I thought stories are different, different in the way that an author communicates meanings they find in life through them. Murakami used to do this but now (this, 1Q84) he seems to fail, he has used up his meanings maybe. He has perhaps blossomed (as Kurt Vonnegut would say). I have nothing against this and it is seemingly inevitable but why are these last two works heralded in the same way as his earlier ones? I could go on, but people have already mentioned the rather familiar and cardboardy characters and I would rather focus on the ridiculous, rude? Poor delivery of an ending and how it seems to have been swallowed up as if it wasn't all of these things. I do think it would be funny to put all Murakami’s main characters in a room together though and write a story about that :) like how they'd freak out that they were all so similar! Anyway, I sound like a Murakami basher but I genuinely love his other books, honest! Tsukuru Tazaki is a young man who faces a great loss. The story follows him through the depths of his depression and loneliness to his eventual reconnection with the people who hurt him so deeply. I like the story but it did leave me with more than a few questions....otherwise, I might have given it 4 stars. Not my favourite Murakami, but I do like his writing. A story about lost friendship, loneliness, not-really-knowing-oneself, and a trip to Finland. The protagonist is a slightly peculiar man who is probably somewhere on the spectrum. Interesting, although I'm not sure wheter to be happy or sorry for him. This is my first encounter of the highly acclaimed Murakami's fiction writing. I didnt find it awesome or exiquiste. Parts of the novel worked really good for me (especially Haida's story and his father's, Tsukuru's meditation about death and how he overcomes that) and somethings didnt click at all (Shiro's story, novel's ending). May be I should give other acclaimed works of Murakami a try before giving it up.
This is a book for both the new and experienced reader. It has a strange casualness, as if it unfolded as Murakami wrote it; at times, it seems like a prequel to a whole other narrative. The feel is uneven, the dialogue somewhat stilted, either by design or flawed in translation. Yet there are moments of epiphany gracefully expressed, especially in regard to how people affect one another.

JFC is the misogyny getting worse, or was I just better at mental editing years ago? "Sucks that she was strangled and all, but whatever made her beautiful was already gone so like she was basically already dead." I don't have time for these sad sack men anymore.
Whatever is good about this book, the alienation or self-identity or loss of friendship, even the dealing with a loved one's mental illness, could've been just as well told without this bullshit fake rape accusation. The only reason to include it is if women aren't real characters, just reflections of a man's self-image.
Yes, it's the boobs. It's also the sex dreams, it's also the fading beauty making girls less alive, it's also the throwaway lines like "he admired how she never skipped dessert yet always kept her trim figure." Barf. ( )
