I wanted to love this book. But I couldn't.

This book was not good. It was dull. For one, there is no story at all. For Murakami, the entire booked seemed like a subplot to any other character in any other novel he's written.

Plus, we don't even get an ending. We don't find out about two major, major characters (S and H) at all before the book ends.

There were guns involved in the story and yet neither were fired.

This leaves much to be desired and I, for one, am saddened.

I said I would 2 star this book, go higher if something in the last 50 pages happened. Instead, it was a recap of the whole book while he sat in a train station.

1 star it is. I'm sorry. But it just wasn't good.
