Buku ini campuran magical realism, misteri pembunuhan, romansa, ke-Kafka-an (ada bagian yang secara blak-blakan mengikuti The Trial), cerita mid-life crisis, dan sedikit horor. Walaupun begitu, Dance Dance Dance lebih ringan jika dibandingkan novel Murakami lainnya. Di buku ini Murakami juga sudah menemukan zona nyaman dalam gaya penulisannya, yang sampai sekarang masih dipakai dan tentu saja, dikritisi. Saya sempat mencoba mengikuti tren membenci Murakami yang akhir-akhir ini muncul, tapi ternyata saya masih menikmati buku-buku Murakami.

This review hurts me from the bottom of my heart but this book is a 3, i would give it a 2.5 but im biased and I love Murakami so no.

I l o v e Murakami, he's my man, I love his books... but this one is. Em. Tough? It's not tough, but maybe I'm not in the phase of my life in which I will be able to understand this book, even less considering the fact that I didn't read any of the previous books of this "saga". My understanding of the book is based on the fear of letting go things that are the right things for you and not letting go the ones that are harmful, because of this the freelancer author kinda has attachment issues and a whole murder story starts from that.

I won't lie, I had to force myself to read it, Was it worth it? Who knows, but at least I have finally read Dance, Dance, Dance by the iconic Haruki Murakami

Dance Dance Dance is the fourth and last book in the Rat series. Each book just kept getting better and better. Full of Murakami's magical reality, the sheep man, jazz and pop culture.

Tyjo, tohle mě moc nenadchlo. Na začátku a konci se to tváří jako detektivka, to mě bavilo, ale jinak jenom stovky (doslova) stran poměrně o ničem. Mám ráda Murakamiho jednoduchost a svým způsobem i jednotvárnost, ale tady už jí bylo moc. A navíc ten male gaze co se žen a ženského těla týče. Ugh.
