A review by jenny_hedberg
The Elephant Vanishes by Haruki Murakami
4.0
Ten things I have learnt from this book:
1. Don't trust dancing dwarves, they're probably plotting to possess your body.
2. Hold on to those close to you if you ever meet a person who burns barns.
3. Not robbing bakeries when you were young can become a problem later in life.
4. Noboru Watanabe is everywhere.
5. Never ask your wife to buy you lederhosen, unless you don't like her.
6. Be cautious when there's something missing in your life; weird things may happen.
7. Murakami's Japanese men seem to have severe problems with self-confidence.
8. Silence is a terrible thing.
9. Don't bring up your Sherlockian obsessions when flirting - it will become really awkward.
10. Finally, people are prepared to do horrible things to feel superior, especially when they are afraid.
