It say on the sleeve that Murakami most be one of the greatest novelists in the world - probably true this! A truly original talent.
While it isn't my favourite story by this author - that would be a toss-up between Norwegian Wood and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle - it does contain some utterly fantastic characters and typically unusual plotlines that keep you guessing even after you've reached the final page. If you've never read Murakami before, this perhaps isn't the best place to start, but it should on no account be missed.
The turn of phrase and the way the books sucks you in is its greatest strength. The idiosyncrasies of the protagonists and the quirkness of seemingly mundane life are brought to to the fore. At each turn another piece of the puzzle is revealed.
Like a favourite CD or DVD this is something that you find yourself looking at again...
