SRP 2012 REVIEW: Trippy, excellent book. Until the end. It wasn't necessarily that I loved this book, but that it sucked me in so thoroughly that I truly, honestly felt like I was living in this world. Reading this book is an experience unlike most others, so I would recommend it just to be able to experience this world. My only caveat is that the ending was less than subpar, but this is typical of Murakami.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Very interesting, but very long. It is an English translation of a work that was released as three books in Japan. Very interesting characters. I enjoyed it. It was very different than anything I have ever read before.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Definitely a good read. I'd recommend it to any philosophers-at-heart, fans of intrigue, and to those looking for something out of the normal circle of things that they read. Please note though, it's not a kid's book.
