Historia
Equally broke and futureless 28-year-old James Brooke, a graduate architect, coffee-addict, and self-described average nobody, has returned to his small hometown in West Ohio. Torn between his fanciful dreams and the need to pay off bills, he struggles to find his own identity while facing a harder than ever reality. But living under his father’s rooftop while keeping his head in the clouds soon turns out to be a bad combination, and the mounting student debt forces him to settle for any job he can find.

Bland story
Revisado: 04-20-24
Even when I don’t enjoy a book I try to leave a constructive review rather than a disparaging one. I applaud fox for trying to tell a story from the perspective of a modern late 20s adult who lives in an era where the average joe faces incredibly unfavorable economic circumstances. It is a unique perspective to consider, but the execution was terrible. The whole story is just the inner dialogue of the protagonist’s self loathing and it gets exhausting to listen to. There is absolutely no character development whatsoever. I’m not mad that the story refrained from cliche character development, I’m disappointed that there was none whatsoever be it progressive or regressive. Overall the book was incredibly bland.

Not as good as his other work
Revisado: 04-17-24
I’m a huge murakami fan but this one in particular feel flat for me. The themes & messages he’s going for are unclear and the mysticism that we’re accustomed to in murakami novels just falls flat here. Normally the magical realism he incorporates is crucial to the plot but this book would turn out exactly the same if you removed the supernatural elements from it.
Im still a huge fan of the author and this doesn’t diminish his other works. This one in particular just wasn’t for me
