Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World is worth a buy. Get that instead.

I assume you're young and not very well educated. A mature and experienced reader won't say such a thing.

Basically I thought it was boring, largely because Murakami doesn't write good lead characters that aren't essentially 30-something male slackers.

I applaud him for trying something different with KOTS, I just don't think he was successful, personally.

So many pretence.

Just finished reading it actually, not as good as wind up bird chronicle, but a good read.

>> No.855321

Was dissatisfied with the ending and... even last few chapters all together. I liked the interaction between Kafka/Oshima and Nakata/Hoshino though.

Worth a rent.
