As a Murakami fan, this was a middle of the road book for me. While I was certainly compelled by the story, it didn't have the beautifully dreamy imagery of The Windup Bird Chronicle. On the flipside, it was a bit less obtuse than Hardboiled Wonderland and the Edge of the World. Read this if you enjoy metaphysical philosophy combined with Oedipal fatalism and a twist of pop-culture iconography. (I give away nothing by telling you that Colonel Sanders features in a significant way.)
