2.5

Probably not the best choice for my first Murakami book. It certainly makes you think, almost each sentence it's own allusion to a different possibility, though maybe I just don't like the translation (Ted Goossen) because it's. . . dry at best. Might be biased since I just came off finishing a much more emotionally engaging book.

Overall feelings: Eh.
