While reading the book, I planned to rate it three out of five stars, as I was a bit dissapointed after reading other works by Murakami. It felt much more difficult to connect to the main characters as in, for example, Norwegian Wood. However, the two final chapters are so magnificently written, turned the story up side down, and contain so many delicious metaphors that I had to show some mercy and award it with four stars.Not my all-time Murakami favourite, but a strange and captivating (short) story that is hard to put down.
