    I feel bad for the (U.S.) English readers because this book is just too simplistic and silly when read in English.

  • Like reading modern art ...

    Amazing how one can describe that one only night and still keep you chained to the book until the end!

    Typically Murakami. Dark and surreal. Complicated and mystrous. The strange atmosphere in the book lingers on.
    I guess what he tries to tell in the book is that everyone is haunted to some extend. Some may be haunted by the past, some may be haunted by the present. However, Marakami acknowledges the importance of memory in one's life, by describing it as the 'fuel' which makes one to carry on.
