The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
5.0
It took me a while to get through this, but not because I didn't love it.
I was tempted to give the book four stars, because I think [b:Kafka on the Shore|4929|Kafka on the Shore|Haruki Murakami|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165515991s/4929.jpg|6191072] may be the better work, but the ending of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle changed my mind.
To finish off such a mysterious and elusive story is something that most authors fail at miserably, and here Murakami achieves a near perfect ending.
As with [b:Kafka on the Shore|4929|Kafka on the Shore|Haruki Murakami|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165515991s/4929.jpg|6191072], The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle seems like it will require multiple readings.
