I found this book so bewitching that I was incapable of putting it down. I read it during the space of 24 hrs, in which I also played laser tag and had some insomnia. I was actually surprised to be enjoying it so much, as the first Murakami book I read last month kind of left me cold. This book seemed much more human, mostly to do with the narrator, who is much more charming and easier to relate to than the one of the other book. The only trouble I had with this book, as with the other, was the women with death wishes. I found their appearance in both books discomfiting, especially as the rather sensitive narrator of 'Dance...' seemed rather untroubled by the idea that the woman might have been murdered. That said, this book was really excellent, sort of teetering on the edge of reality in a way that seemed totally plausible. Rad characters, witty dialogue, mystery, love... My kind of 24-hr book.
