*A very late Book review…Copied from my facebookshelf account
Another great read from Murakami! I tried to control myself in reading this only when I was on public transport- this way I could prolong the M.journey, instead of just devouring it in one sitting.
My love for it ,stems from Haruki’s very interesting scenarios laden with ambiguos endings. As well as a comical if not cinematic approach to mundane tasks and everyday human behaviours. I laughed my heart out when I read about the Mc.Donald’s incident and the dire need to consume a number of big macs due to cravings. Initially I have regarded myself as the woman from Sleep and the way she had found some sort of freedom while others are deep in their slumber. I have no trouble sleeping, but in saying that, I also have no trouble not sleeping. It goes both ways- at times I can even go and function normally without 3 or more days of sleep. However, I would have hated to follow that woman’s demise (>__<).
Despite what I would’ve liked as a central story connecting all the other stories, I felt that the book has ultimately served its purpose- to have but a glimpse of the different facets we as human beings experience.
RATING: 4.95/5
