Reading a Haruki Murakami book feels like a breathe of fresh air after battling my way through [b:A Brief History of Seven Killings|20893314|A Brief History of Seven Killings|Marlon James|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1399045083s/20893314.jpg|40236328].

This book is really clever, it contains two stories running side by side, the chapters alternate between each story. At first these are completely separate but as you work your way through the stories you realise there are 100's of little links between them. Writing one book must be pretty tough but two at the same time is pure madness, Haruki successfully manages it though.

A great cast of characters again and as usual they don't have names, just little descriptions to identify them. I won't confess to understanding the story 100% but I had great time trying to figure out where things were going, my guesses though were way off. :)

Entertaining read by an amazing author.
