Interest waned a little a third of the way in but I kept going. The writing was very good, and I do want to know what happens... maybe I'll try the third book later in the year. ( ) È difficile per me commentare una storia che non si conclude con la fine del libro. La trama è intrigante, ma spesso non capisci dove si andrà a parare. Questo è stato il mio primo "Murakami", quindi non saprei definire l'autore, ma lo trovo spesso troppo prolisso. Ma è proprio necessario ripetere sempre le stesse cose più volte e dilungarsi tanto su concetti che, al fine della trama, servono a poco o nulla? Il libro nel complesso mi è piaciuto, ma la terza parte credo che la affronterò poi, al momento non credo di riuscirci. The styling is captivating, making it hard to put down. My only issue lies in the gross amount of sex. So much of it, but not without purpose, just without borders. The book ends in a way that--and this is by no means a spoiler--makes me want to pick up the third one immediately, but I'm a pacer. I look forward to reading more by Murakami no reviews | add a review
