“Sorry to say it, but a little disappointing. Far too long (the three volumes could easily have been edited to one) and far too much recapitulation and repetition. The book has been marketed as a 'mind-bending ode to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four', but it really only touches tangentially on that great work. Moments of Murakami's great weirdness and moments of great poetry, but far too much banality to get through to reach these.”
