A lovely read but I really struggled to focus on the ins and outs as my mind drifted. Was it the fault of the book or some other reason, I'm not sure? Maybe that's why I didn't love it the way I thought I might of.

Murakami truly is something special. The stories are brilliantly put together, a true pleasure to read. Super-frog saves Tokyo was 💯

Proper quirky Japanese literature. An odd story that envelops you with twists and turns of through the underground world that it is set. Very enjoyable due to its odd humour and truth of the protagonist. I did feel something was slightly missing throughout but it didn't hinder it enough to ruin any passage.

My introduction to Murakami and it was a great one at that. The stories ooze authenticity and passion. Highly recommend.

Maybe it was the life context in which I wrote it in, but I was just always waiting and waiting for this book to open up. I enjoyed its premise, but it lacked the expansion that I thought it was promising to build. Not a wasted read by any means but not the kick I was looking for either.

Beautiful, heartbreaking and the most complete feeling of being home I've ever read. The last 30 pages or so shows why we bother with this book reading malarkey at all. Bendigedig! 🏴

Haunting and tough, but a superb read where I can physically see and hear and at some points feel all the adrift kayaker is living. Highly recommended for a late night voyage.

Out of the trilogy, this is the one that I feel Cixin Liu hits his stride properly. The scale is ginormous and truly baffling but what makes this a real stellar piece of work is the fact that after two other great books, you are still enraptured till the very last page. It is truly terrifying in its prophetic visions of humanities future but it is done with a grace that particularly the second book in the series lacks. A great end to a properly great series.
