Weird and wonderful, and surprisingly linear for a Murakami novel, with only a smattering of things left unresolved. I wouldn't recommend this one as an introduction to the author, but his fans will be pleased with the opportunity to spend a large stretch of time in his bizzare world. If you haven't read Murakami yet (oh, how I envy you!), read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
