5.0

Beautifully written, fantastic storytelling and world building, diverse and layered characters, cute cats and started couting how many cats showed up in the story but I had to stop eventually (counted 7 and then the empty lot thing happened and there were too many cats).  
I love the style, Oshima is one of my favorite characters (not just in this book just fiction in general), I hope to see more of Oshimas represented.
I love Murakami so much!
