    Funny but serious and uncondescending
  

*by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2007*

69 is one of my favorite coming-of-age stories. It contains few enough "insight moments" to remain digestible. But there is something to think about, laugh at, admire, or learn on nearly every page.I'm not sure how much of the book is based on actual events in Murakami Ryu's life, but the story was realistic enough to keep me engaged. Murakami does a great job injecting humor into the first-person narrative, which also serves to develop the main character of Ken. There is a clear pattern: every 10 pages or so, Ken claims he did something sensible, then contradicts himself with "of course that wasn't the case. Instead, I ______."Without patronizing the reader, Murakami also touches on subjects like national identity, group membership and influences, Japanese culture, and social biases. Though a quick read 69, is thought-provoking and, to me, very effective in setting up several archetypal characters and subsequently refining some while showing the changes of others. As this mirrors real life - some people change while others seem to be older versions of their younger selves - the character studies in 69 are highly compelling.I highly recommend 69, especially to those interested in Japan or fans of Murakami Haruki or Natsuo Kirino.

    Juvenile
  

*by G***H on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2010*

This book is probably great for anyone 21 years of age and younger but anyone older than that will find it trivial and juvenile.  It is written from the point-of-view of Kensuke Yazaki who is currently in his 30s and is looking back on his senior year of high school which just happened to be in 1969.  He basically talks about wanting sex all the time, not unusual for a 17-year-old boy and how he is disappointed in his high school.  His disappointment in his high school leads him to pull all sorts of pranks, i.e., pushing the female swim coach into the pool; his running away from home so he didn't have to compete in the school marathon; and his biggest prank of all vandalizing the school with graffiti and leaving feces on the principal's desk.Then over the summer break he decides they will have a festival like the ones they have in Tokoyo or even Paris and he writes a script for a play entitled "Beyond the Blood-Red Sea of Negativity and Rebellion".  He also gets a band together and they hold the festival on November 23rd. Five hundred people show up.Except for these things happening it basically is about a selfish, self-centered teenager who thinks he's so smart he can change the world.  Kensuke is literally quite full of himself. If you're looking for anything deep and/or meaningful, look elsewhere, you won't find it here.

    I love Ryu Murakami's books
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2017*

I love Ryu Murakami's books. They are all dark, intriguing, and let you see a side of Japanese culture you usually don't see or imagine.
