Those three stars are just for the last chapter.
For all the chapters leading up to it a solid 5.
It's unlike Jeffrey Archer to force you to “think” about the end to a story.
How Murakami of him.

But I respect the author's audacity to try something different.
Otherwise, the novel's like any other from the author, keeps us on the edge of our seats till the last sentence. Makes us read over hundred pages in one sitting.

All that was missing was a twist so good, your jaw drops, you close the book, smile to yourself of the man's genius, open the book again and continue reading. Maybe shed a tear or two.

Feel like I would appreciate this book more when I do eventually read it again, to pick up all the signs the author left about the abrupt ending.

But one thing's for sure, wouldn't recommend this as the first book to read by the author.
That privilege lies with Kane and Abel.
