I am half way through and I believe it's not worth any more of my time. <br /> <br />Let me tell you how bad it was. I took the book with me in a visit to Toronto earlier this week. I was bored out of mind at the Pearson Airport waiting for my flight. So I pulled out the book, thinking I could probably sail through the wait engrossed in Haruki Murakami's stories. After about 10 minutes, I put the book back in my carry-on thinking it is much more preferable to get bored out of mind than reading this junk. <br /> <br />What on earth was Murakami thinking? Do authors become so arrogant that after some fame, the readers will lap up any crap they dish out? Frankly, I am disgusted. I am not going to read another Murakami unless the reviews are really really good. <br /> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1015246?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
