A review by mudkipmillie
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Like many Murakami books, the ending feels a bit unresolved. Also there are some HEAVY themes in this book, so watch out.
