4:15 After your review, I read this book. What a masterpiece! I loved this book. I’ve already read 3 other Murakami books and they are all so different. So far, my favorite is Dance, Dance, Dance. I enjoyed your review.
Its such a nice book i love murakamis magical worlds. It was really interesting to hear your insights i wonder where his fascination with wells stems from (also the tshirt is awsome)
Thanks for the presentation, I've meaning to try Murakami but have never gotten to him. Like a lot of other contemporary Japanese writers. I read that Murakami was heavily influenced by Natsume Soseki, one of the founders of the Japanese novel. He's worth looking at.
This was my first Murakami novel and I found parts of it intriguing, and some of the characters enjoyable. However the book as a whole seemed to add up to less than the sum of its parts. At the end of the book I had no idea what the Wind Up Bird represented, what the deep well was all about, and I was looking for some resolution to the story that never came. I decided if this is the kind of novel Murakami writes, one with no resolution and no meaningful conclusion that answers the questions asked by the novel, it would be my one and only Murakami read. I'm still wondering if those who love the book just enjoyed the journey so much they did not mind if it came to no destination.
