I thought this was just gonna be one of those depressing Russian novels, but it turned out to be a depressing Russian fantasy novel! Jokes aside, it was a fun read, though I wasn't expecting all those fantasy parts. I'm looking forward to the sequels.

I'm glad that I stumbled upon this book. It gives insight into the struggles of women and their (in)dependence of men. There are so many examples of how we go wrong in discarding solutions and that we should think bigger in finding new ones. It's one of those reads, where you wonder, why there still hasn't been a huge change and how would we be able to kick start those. I highly recommend this to anyone that is even slightly interested in how to build a world that is more fair for all and especially women.

It was just a fun little read, nothing exceptional, but also not bad. It's not gonna be one of my favorites, but I didn't regret buying and reading it. I also read this on a train ride, so I'm glad I bought this on a whim.

I picked this randomly, I've never read one of his books before, but I'm glad I did!

It's such an interesting book, the writing is surprisingly fitting for the story. It's such a nice way to build the world through someones eyes, that doesn't see how weird it is. I thought it would change on a specific direction after a certain plot point, but it didn't. It's strange to think about how they would think and what things they wouldn't even question. Why they wouldn't start a revolution, never even consider it. They are just so used to how things are laid out for them, it's just how it's supposed to be for them. I'm looking forward to his other books!

I feel like it's a good book, but I just couldn't finish it. I don't know what it was, it's just the whole book felt annoying to read through. Nothing really happens and stuff is described well, which is like every other Murakami book, but in this case, it just felt like work.

It's a well written book, but sometimes it feels like they are just telling you things you want to hear. It's also kind of an ad for their own company. Nonetheless, I like the approach to turn down the stress on start-ups, that you don't have to be perfect from the beginning, not overwork yourself, don't put that much money into PR and so on. I especially like their attitude of not needing to grow bigger and bigger to be successful, that companies can have the size they like. They seem to be successful with that, so I guess it's not that bad. It's motivating, I'd suggest that to others that think about starting a business.

This is one of those books, where the idea sounds much more interesting and fun than it ends up being.

I'm glad that it's such a short read, because these random correlations are funny for like three of those graphs, after which it's just boring. It's not because of his writing, his fun facts keep it afloat, he's not bad at that, but this topic just isn't good in my opinion.
