It's my favorite and is also one of his most straight forward novels. The things about Muramaki is that the writing is so beautiful, the plot is almost secondary, and he's worth reading for the reading journey alone. But if you like books with clean endings, where most things get resolved, and the plot ties up nicely, you can can skip him.

I like the beginning, and the middle, but the end? meh. Maybe I was biased going in not to like it. I found the story with the sister that wouldn't wake up very confusing. It seemed like it would make a good arthouse movie. I read it, it was ok, but I didn’t get it. I like the beginning, and the middle, but the end? meh. Maybe I was biased going in not to like it.

It gives me a little confidence now that I'll be interested in his longer works. Raidergirl and Framed, I was a little scared too, but I’m glad I started with this one because it was short.

Everything I've read about Murakami says it's over my head. The reviews also say he writes beautifully but I'm just not a deep thinker. I agree with raidergirl3.
