This is a fantastic read. First of all, the short stories are wonderful, magical and typical Murakami. For the people who haven't read anything by him yet, it's a good primer. It gives great insight in his writing, and is a concise overview of the themes he touches. For the fans, it's a feast of recognition. Familiar story lines, familiar writing style and a familiar sketch of the world.
Loved this book.
