Again a Murakami book that grips me in the first half and loses me in the second. I read the sequel Dance Dance Dance before reading this one, maybe that’s a part of why I wasn’t as interested?
In the end I couldn’t make myself care about the story, maybe I’ve read too much Murakami and I’ve grown tired of his tropes.
I’m going to take a big break from Murakami. I hope when I next revisit him I will be as enamored as I was with my firsts like Norwegian Wood and Dance Dance Dance

A charming Murakami novel that hits all the points. I felt the journey in the book was shorter than his other books I read with a considerable focus on the ‘start point’ of the book. It still round out nicely and fittingly though, a good read.

3.5 starred sheep, but only because I am holding it up to his other work. I liked this book a lot, but it's no Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or Kafka on the Shore.

Muito bom! Murakami faz a história de um cara procurando por um carneiro, ser tão profunda e esclarecedora que parece até piada.
O autor mistura uma investigação realista, com elementos fantásticos e ilógicos, algo que pode parecer bastante confuso, quando, na verdade, passa a fazer total sentido no decorrer da leitura.
Gostei bastante da forma com que o autor uniu as histórias dos dois primeiros livros e tirou melhor proveito daqueles personagens tão interessantes e complexos.
