Reviews
This book was absurd and also very mundane at the same time?!!
This book made me question my own morality. I gave it three stars as some of the descriptions were just so graphic and hard to stomach.
While I do enjoy reading Ryu Murakami's work, this was probably one of his weakest. Don't get me wrong, it was good. I just don't think it comes close to comparing to his best. If you are already a Murakami fan then read it. If not then I would start with Audition or Almost Transparent Blue.

I definitely regret not reading this book in one sitting. The build up to the climax was so tense and gave me a lot of anxiety, but I fell asleep right before the big moment.
