scottdrickman 's review for:

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
4.5
dark emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Murakami has once again proven to be an interesting read for me.  I, of course, have some issues with how he portrays women but overall the book is introspective, engaging, and dream-like in a really fascinating way.
