I'm going to keep this as short as possible. Hell, I'm not even sure if I'd call it a review, other than the fact that it does have my rating for it. Murakami isn't the easiest author to review. You're thrown into strange journeys and you're never quite sure if you understand it all--yet you have on...
How the hell do I give this a proper review? Haruki Murakami's Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is unlike anything I have ever experienced in the literary world. This is my third Murakami novel, and I wasn't disappointed. It contained all of the crazy, whimsical maddness I was hoping ...

Murakami's books are very hard for me to review/write about. Before I sat down to write this, I went back to look at my reviews for the other works I've read by him. They weren't helpful in the least. Two of the reviews were extremely brief and for the other book, it appears that I just left a star ...
The first part is a collection of interviews bringing to life what happened in the Sarin Gas Attacks in Tokyo. You get a sense of the confusion as well as the moral dilemma faced by ordinary citizens and how emergency services were woefully unprepared for such an event. The last half was written lat...
I'm not sure what to make of this installment of the series. We pick up five years after where [b:A Wild Sheep Chase|11298|A Wild Sheep Chase (The Rat, #3)|Haruki Murakami|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327908774s/11298.jpg|2057170] ends. Again, he is making a living though going thro...
