I'll admit it, I only read about half of the stories. Maybe I'm on Murakami overload?

Entretenido para el trayecto en tren.
En un libro de relatos cortos algunos son muy buenos y otros un poco peores, es difícil dar una valoración al conjunto y no parece haber hilo conductor.
Me gustaron mucho: un barco lento a china, el enanito bailarín, silencio y el elefante desaparece.

If you are new to Murakami, this book is the right choice to understand the many layers of his works.

This was a short story that made absolutely no sense to me at all -- I am glad I only wasted an hour of my time.
