Like always Murakamis style of writing is very delicate. The plot is interesting, good pacing, poetic descriptions.
 The plot and fantasy aspect differs to other Murakami books, this book is a romance novel and got nothing surreal to it. 
There is like always one thing that annoys me about this book or about Murakami in general. 
The way he writes woman lol
Again - every woman is at one point in this book just an sexual lust-object for the protagonist or another male. In Kafka on the shore it somehow made sense to me but in this book it seemed really unnecessary and at some point it was so annoying that it really ruined the moment. It's just sad :,)
