A bizarre but beautifully-written book. Trying to understand or explain it will make it a very frustrating experience - instead try to accept things as they happen and let yourself get taken for the ride.

A very poignant take on the passage of time and the death of a human through the lens of an old man and a 15 year old boy. Murakami creates one of the strangest worlds I’ve read, from talking cats to colonel sanders the pimp, there wasn’t a boring moment. As always, murakamis portrayal of women is not good, and there are a few scenes that threw me for a loop.

I've never read a book like this before. It's very creative and free. At the end, I didn't feel some big emotion. I just know for sure that I will read it again. I look forward to the experience of going through it a second time.
