“Is this appropriate for a 13 year old? Why?”
“Murakami's books are travel books for me... I read "Hard-Boiled Wonderland" in Japan, and the whimsical, surreal nature of the novel worked perfectly. Last year, I went to the Balkans, and I tried "Wind-Up Bird Chronicle". Wow, it worked beautifully. I remember reading about the Russian skinner while on a night train between Bucarest and Belgrade, rushing through the Transylvanian countryside under a blood-red moon. This novel left a permanent mark on my psyche as a result.”
“so where did may kasahara's letters go if mr. okada weren't able to receive them?”
“The most bizarre thing I have ever read, but I just couldn't put it down. Loved it. Love Murakami.”
“I've read everything that is available in the US as far as Murakami goes, and I've read both Wind Up and Kafka On The Shore four times each. They both are masterpieces that deliver every time! I can also add that Wind Up Bird was truly a life changing book for me.”
“I wish I'd read reviews from the Murakami fan club. Now I want to re-read Wind-up Bird. Sigh, too linerar in my thinking sometimes. ”
“I've read most of Murakami's books before this one, just because this looked too heavy to carry and read around. When I got myself carried into the intricate world of the wind-up bird, I felt sorry the book has only approx. 600 pages. It's the kind of volume you wish never ended. I could read it on and on and on.”
“The sort of book you press into someone's hands, envious that he or she will be reading it for the first time.”
“i loved, loved this book. couldn't put it down.”
“This was my first ride in Murakami land and a life-changing book. It is a must read.”
