The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A Novel Audiobook

" It was good! Slow moving, but unique and intriguing. A interesting fictional voyage through lonely Tokyo. "

" I tried but no.This is probably the worst Book i've ever read.Just...What are you getting at dear Haruki? apart from writing about a guy whose activities involve making sandwiches , looking for a cat, drinking coffee,making sandwiches,looking for a cat, drin...coff..ee.Lookin f..a. I can't.I need my money back because this book was a pain in the A.bye. "

" A little slow at first, but it gets trippier and wierder as you get deeper into it. Murakami is insane in the best way possible. This book is winning! "

" I've never enjoyed being confused more. "

" Make sure you hit up a doobey when reading this. Creative but bizarre. "

" The best book I've read in a decade. And the fact that it's in translation did nothing to impede the experience. It's an amazing novel. "

" A waste of my precious time... "

" can't get any bizzare than this "

" Everyone who loves Murakami, will tell you... this is the book he was born to write. That is the truth. Read it! "

" The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle reads as if Neil Gaiman were Japanese and the Navidson house were a dry well. "

" Interesting read for sure...but I was a little frustrated b/c I wasn't sure what it all MEANT. "

" Haunting, traditional and modern Japan collide in a metaphysical adventure, my favourite Murakami "

" After reading six Murakami books, among them Tokyo Blues, Kafka and 1Q84, I wouldn't hesitate in declaring this one the best of all. It has over 850 pages and you still wished it had twice that "

" You won't understand anything until you read it all until the end. Don't be afraid of the thickness of the novel. "

" A great fantasy book, indeed Murakami is a pop culture writer but still he takes us somewhere very different yet the same world we are living. I especially like this book. "

" One of the best books I ever saw. Just an awesome story! "

" Read this while you're unemployed. It adds an extra level of awesome to the experience, though it still holds plenty of awesome even if you are working. "

" It left me with a bitter feel of unease whilst reading. But on the last... ten or twenty pages it revealed a harmonic end, which made me feel comfortable. But I recommend everyone to read it through. Only this way you'll feel better! "

" one of my favorite books by my favorite author. do yourself a favor and read this. I've read twice and will definitely read again one day! "

" Another half-way through because I was simply too bored to finish it. "

" I am told it was brilliant but it was a bit too weird and obscure for me. "

" I enjoyed the surreal aspects of the narrative. However, I found myself wanting the writing to be more precise. Is it the translation? Is Japanese difficult to translate into English? "

" Media coordinator Heather Simons has just started this book and is already blown away. "

" There is no way to describe this book other than: there was my life before I read this book, and there is my life after. They are not the same life. "

" a very interesting book, lots of twists and turns. i've always loved murakami's poetry-like style: it's so fluid and reminds me of a lullaby. loved this novel. "

" A lifeless japanese David Lynch-like story. "

" Entertaining and imaginative. I enjoyed it. "

" It leaves you feeling as though the book were written especially for you - a claim almost as ridiculous as the things that happen in this novel. "

" In the first chapter of this book I read the line:<br/><br/>&quot;Without wind to move the branches, the shadows looked like permanent stains, destined to remain imprinted on the pavement forever.&quot; <br/><br/>That was the moment I knew I wanted to keep reading. "
