Long time ago that I read a book that I had to put away every now and then because it did so much to me emotionally. It's not a happy story but that doesn't make the book any less.

Great variety of stories in the typical Murakami style: normal daily life stories with a twist... always a twist.

Unfortunately I can't give it zero stars. Extremely predictable story (that's why I didn't bother to read the other two books) . Very poorly written, in the style of a sub-average primary school child. Apart from the sometimes arousing intermezzos absolutely not worth reading. I do not really understand why it became so popular. If you want to read about relationships there are better books. If you want to read arousing, erotic books there are better books and if you want to read porn... Well I'm not familiar with that but I guess there are better books for that too.

Voor de huidige generatie misdoen moeilijk voor te stellen jacht op een huurmoordenaar zonder alle moderne databases, communicatiemiddelen en andere technologie. Maar als je daar doorheen kunt kijken is het een geweldig spannend verhaal. Vergelijk het met kijken naar Casablanca: Gedateerd, maar zeer de moeite waard.

Zeer spannende thriller over de koude oorlog. Een kat- en muisspel met een nucleaire tintje.

Prachtig verhaal, waarbij wij onwetende Europeanen (nou ja, in ieder geval ik. :-) ) heel veel leren over de moderne geschiedenis van Iran aan de hand van de geschiedenis van één familie. Mooi geschreven, het verhaal is boeiend, je wilt het echt uitlezen.

Not the best Murakami I've read. Well written as always but the plot and story were not my cup of tea. Not well rounded in my opinion,I prefer a story with a les open end.
