Well, Haruki Murkami is a great author and this is a very original story.
However, I got frustrated reading this book. It's way too long and the alternating stories got on my nerves (this is not the first book I read where every other chapter deals with one of the two main characters but I just can't stand this type of organization).
This book was simply not for me. Maybe it was written for people who do not have anything else in life but read. I like rich yet succint books and on the opposite it felt like I was reading a soap opera because you'd read 25 pages while all that is going on is that the characters are just driving from point A to B.
The spirits and Oedipe complex themes were not so successful in my opinion. At all! They were very brief as compared with the overall events which is very unfortunate.
I would not recommend this book and i feel like i wasted a lot of time and energy for almost nothing in return!
On the other hand I really enjoyed the parts about music.
