This book is really fascinating. The story consists of two parallel stories which merge in the end, though they are really far away from each other at first. Murakami, Japan’s famous writer, is great, his language with its unusual comparisons combined with the very creative and thrilling parallel story with its unique characters is just pure delight to read. For me, this is his best book!
