It's just as strange as the title said.
Kalau boleh aku meringkas buku ini dengan satu kalimat milikku sendiri: "Dinggo meden-medeni bocah cilik nek aneh-aneh ning perpus." wkwkwkwk
Kisah serem yang bakalan serem banget kalau aku masih umur bocah dan punya imajinasi berlebih.

A beautiful book, but the story was quite bland and would get 2.5 stars without the gorgeous illustrations. Reading this in a library probably added another dimension to my experience as well. This was a must-read for me as I'm aiming to have read everything by Murakami, but I don't think I would have chosen this book had it been by anyone else.

This is such a strange story. What's real? What's a dream? Does it matter? Murakami has a way of writing that lets me accept all these bizarre moments without question.
