It starts off strong then falls flat after getting to America. Like another reviewer said way too much description of everything. So many unnecessary passages.

It gets tiring after a while.I don't hate descriptions though.

Murakami and foods are something magical and you can just see the place in your head. Here though it's Idk boring after a while.

It was really predictable for me too after the 60% mark. I could see the ending scene form a mile.

Overall a just a good time read. It also has a movie adaptation. Have seen some scenes from it. Planning to watch it fully soon.
