>Does it feel drawn out and padded?
It’s very much a Murakami novel, so expect detailed descriptions of meals, outfits, and musical pieces, along with his usual repetition both of story elements and in conversations that characters are having.
But that aside, no it doesn’t really feel padded any more than usual for him, much less so than 1Q84 for sure.
It’s lengthy, but something about Murakami’s novels makes it easy to just get into a super comfortable flow state and read long stretches at a time.
