Review of 'The Wind-up Bird Chronicle' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This was an experience unlike any other. Murakami writes hypnotically, describing an average experience so well that you become lulled into its reality. Then things get strange and you're so steeped in the book that you feel the bizarre world envelope you. It's powerful storytelling.
There were times when one of many subplots would get really involved and it was hard to see how it was relevant. In the end, all things come together.
I'll definitely be reading more of Murakami's work.
