Finally! The plot is coming together and the book is beginning to make some sense... as much sense as a Murakami can make. Based on what I know so far, he is one of those authors that requires a layman like myself to peruse evaluations and discussions and then come back and reread in order to appreciate. Not all books are worth this effort and many just end up feeling pretentious. The jury is still out on this one.

I like Murakami's style and his knack for weaving the real and surreal. It is a new and pleasant experience for me. However, I am still confused and unsure about the book. Murakami often speaks in riddles, which would be ok if I had some way to orient myself. I feel I could be getting more out of this except I'm missing something, but I don't know what it is. (That's how I feel about most things Japanese.)

I'm not sure where the story is going. I haven't read any synopses besides the mostly vague and slightly confusing one provided here. I've heard good things about this book and its author so I want to like it, but it's feeling pretty sluggish and pointless, atm (and just as vague and confusing as the synopsis).
