The mystery aspect was interesting, but most of the book consisted of bland descriptive text that I found really dull. Also, whenever the author describes women, there’s a weird creepiness to it.

I really wanted the whole book to be like the last 75 pages. I'll keep reading Murakami -- I've seen how he can keep you hooked through an entire novel. This wasn't that, though.
