I'm enjoying it, but I'm a fan of Murakami's work. It has the similar fantastical feel of some of his other works.

The only thing I do wish was different was that it didn't drag on in some parts. It's not frustrating or anything but it does feel like the point was established clearly and some of the additional description is superfluous at times.

What about you?

I'm a big fan of Murakami also and I loved reading these books. I have some gripes but I can't get into them because of spoilers. I hope you keep enjoying it!

I had a rough time with that book, got about 3/4 of the way through and struggled to finish it
