A review by safekeeper
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami
Did not finish book.
2⭐ from the three hours I listened to.
Just too dull and dry, Richie should've probably stuck with Phillip K. Dick although this at least gave him some badly needed character development.
The protagonist was not only colourless but also hopelessly boring, and honestly, like Richie I thought this was why they abandoned him, because honestly it'd be enough to make anyone drop his ***. The talk and depictions of sex in this book just felt gross for some reason I can't quite put my finger on. According to reviews and the plot summary on Wiki there's also a false SA accusation, which I dislike as a plot device (especially with false rape accusations being incredibly rare in reality), and just feels wrong in a book that's this full of fantasies and depictions of sex.
