Rachel P (2 KP) rated Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage in Books
Jan 4, 2018
The novel is written in third person and follows Tsukuru as he does on a quest to find out why his friends alienated him years prior. The novel switches between present day, with Tsukuru trying to live a normal, happy live, and the past, which describes Tsukuru's depression and how he was able to overcome suicidal thoughts. Tsukuru has had many friends leave his life without explanation, and he has come to think of himself as "colorless", having nothing to offer anyone.
There are so many thought-provoking situations in this novel that I almost feel like I should go back and re-read it to fully understand everything that happened. I was left questioning several things from the novel, which is the reason for 4 stars. The reading, insight into the characters, etc was what kept me entertained.

A breathtaking novel that will allow you to experience love and grief altogether.
I have only ever read a novel like You Are Not Here one other time. This is a novel yet in poetry form and I loved every second of it. I felt like I was Annaleah, living with the grief of losing a boyfriend right alongside her. I shed a few tears as parts were just heartbreaking and I laughed at others that were meant to be funny. This little novel is definitely one that I will be holding quite dear for the rest of my life and I can imagine myself reading it when I lost someone as dear to me as Brian was to Annaleah.
