3.75

The usual Murakami weirdness and out-of-pocket sexual comments were still present in this illustrated story collection, but it didn't detract from the stories too much. The artistic style was jarring and sometimes to the the stories' detriment, but overall added to the surrealist minimalism Murakami is known for. 3.75/5.
