Der Namensvetter

Completed the rest 70% while between exams. It starts off strong then falls flat after getting to America. Like another reviewer said way too much description of everything. People places and things. 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 one time read that I might revisit only by the movie. Have seen some scenes of it. Planning to watch it fully soon.

One of my all-time favorite books. Lahiri has a way of making me feel like I relate to the main character, even though our lives and situations are very different, and I'm still very aware of all the ways that that is so.
