A Wild Sheep Chase: A Novel Audiobook

" it was inventive and made me keep reading...Murakami has a great imagination. "

" Interesting read, but a bit hard to follow and convoluted. I like this writer, but would recommend other books of his before this one. "

" For some reason I did not particulary like this one of Murakami... "

" Call me superficial, but I prefer the more accesible books by this 'Japanese Kafka' "

" So very odd and intriguing. My first Murakami, but very refreshing. Loved its quirkiness. "

" wow it got better and better and had a perfect ending. "

" The book that made Murakami Murakami. Cats, ear fetishism, chain smoking, drinking, lots of sex, surreal dream sequences; it's all here. "

" freaky freaky: a hotel, another dimension, a sheepman and again a guy lost in the anonymity of a city, dealing with his lack of commitment... great book "

" It took me forever to read this, but I did it. Used to his shtick by now, but I'm still laughing. An especially redemptive end after a tedious beginning. "

" This book is filled with metaphor and aphorisms; very beautifully written. I love the symbolism and the pacing. "

" Interesting, to say the least "

" the town belonged to the river from the very beginning, it would always be that way... "

" Read this at the New River Gorge in between climbs and in our tent at night. I need to get my hands on the first two books in the trilogy. "

" really enjoyable read and utterly unique! "

" Another pleasantly weird, quirky and witty book from Murakami. "

" I picked up this book to listen to while I was exercising. It turned out to be really interesting! I really liked the writing style. Now I look for other things he has written. "

" It started weird, meaning it was too normal. The things got weird and the book felt normal Murakami again. "

" The one to start with. I've since read the rest of his fiction too. This is the one I recommend to folks new to his work. Follow with Dance, Dance, Dance. One of a kind, Murakami is. "

" My absolute favourite by this author. A disturbing paranormal tale of a quest for a very special sheep, and an amazing portrait of a classic male Murakami protagonist. "

" This book is a modern classic! I found it in 2006 and have read it several times since. A weird, yet harmonious mixture of student novel, crime story and phantasy. Thrilling, deep and highly addictive. The best Murakami I have read. "

" A great detective story, colourful characters, a good pace to the plot, and a dose or two of surrealistic nonsense. I thought it was brilliant. "

" This may have been one of the strangest books I read, and I don't necessarily understand it, but I did really enjoy the dreamlike style & was intrigued by the weird plot. "

" Fantastic book from start to finish. The author brings out the mindset of the unnamed main character on everything he comes cross and his perception of the people around him. "

" This may be the best written book ever.....I'm afraid that I was not prepared for it and didn't get to enjoy it like I should. Perhaps when I am ready , I will go back and read it again. ( This is not a sarcastic review at all. It's the best way I can describe this book) "

" Interesting read, but a bit hard to follow and convoluted. I like this writer, but would recommend other books of his before this one. "

" Best 50c I ever spent.Nice and complicated with enough ridiculous situations and characters to keep you totally hooked "

" My first Murakami book, and to date, my favorite. :) "

" Murakami continues to impress me- definitely worth checking out "

" Wow! This book is everything I like about Murakami: Extremely descriptive, an almost dream-like narrative, and wacky/unique characters. :) Also, I never knew learning about sheep could be so interesting! I look forward to reading the 4th book of the series Dance, Dance, Dance. "
