A review by jaysteady
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
3.0
So an overall good reading experience, but I came out of this story with a lot less clarity about what was happening than I'd normally like to.
I enjoyed Haruki's beautiful writing style, I found it engrossing and penetrating. The atmosphere of the Tokyo suburb lingered during my time away from the novel and evoked a lot of emotion from me.
I admit that before this reading experience I would become disinterested in a book after finding out that they included magical realism, but I will no longer do that. This book has been a doorway for me to a different form of fiction.
With that being said, I would personally prefer a bit more of a concrete plot for me to five it a four or five star. (Three stars for me is a "liked it" rating.)
