What Members Thought
As you would expect from Murakami this is a strange tale, but a good read nonetheless. All about the search for a specific sheep with a star on its back. This has everything you would expect with a good Murakami, trippy plot, bizarre characters but all written in such a matter of fact style that it works.
“Weird and surreal” as one of my friends said. I am not sure if I understand it and I am not sure if I want to go back and reread it to see if it makes more sense. I will keep mulling over it for awhile. I have only read one other Murakami and that was many years ago.

I Love Murakami and even though i haven't read the other two in this series I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. I will go back to read the series from the beginning but Murakami just writes superbly

3-1/2 stars rounded up to 4. Not my favourite of this author’s work, but I haven’t read anything by him that hasn’t left me thoughtful. This was no exception.
un libro muy raro lo único que puede decir..
