A little slow to start, but once it revs up it goes all out until the end. Hilarious and twisted, a bizarre and f-ed up romp that escalated to a wild extreme… I think there’s a parallel to be drawn with some of Chuck Palahniuk’s work, but for my money I prefer Murakami.

Not for the faint of heart, Ryu Murakami delights in some over the top imagery that will either hit hard or miss completely with different readers, but it’s a hit for me.
