My thoughts:

2.5 out of 5 stars

While reading the story....It's painstakingly long! It dragsss...I don't really see the point of it all especially in the beginning this story makes me want to go to sleep. It's normal and a bit weird so many things I'd like to quote ugh I don't like how the girls voices sounds so annoying! there you go audio book thanks haha! Good way to past time though I wonder how this story will unfold.I like Haruki's descriptive writing style but thy greatness I dunno hmm...

The end of book 2 reminds me of that scene in hannibal with the wealthy guy.

Got a bit confused whether nutmeg's a guy or girl.

I feel like the other stories within this story are such fillers -_-


Mae kasahara's story bout the duck people and rice pudding was so funny and interesting indeed.

I finally get it in the end it makes sense now haha!

Additional thoughts from the future (Oct. 2015) : So I read this book last September and I really didn't thought much about it as I try to enjoy the story as much as I can. I feel like this book is truly very Haruki you know normal days with a twist of weird paranormal twist story within a story some things/people aren't what they seem as you thought they would be kinda thing. I'd like to give it a higher rating him being Haruki and all but I just feel like it's okay I liked a lot of quotes from this book though haha!

About : (from Goodreads)

The story of a lonely boy, a mysterious girl, and a tormented sheep man plotting their escape from a nightmarish library.

My Thoughts:

It somewhat surprised me how short it was seriously an hour and two minutes! easy listening I'm really glad I got the audiobook version as it truly helped me a lot speed up my reading also multi task.

The story is quite pysche like,horror/nightmarish really haunting and scary if you ask me which reminds of the twilight zone. I don't think I could ever survive it haha


Spoiler Alert!

there you are just returning/borrowing a book then next thing you know BAM! you're trap and would eventually die or so they say pwahaha! 


I gave this book four out of five stars I really liked it and if you haven't read any Haruki Murakami I'd recommend this one to start as it's such a quick read or like If you're stuck in traffic somewhere hey why not give this a shot an hour long entertainment or if you're truly brave read it while you're in the library preferably when it's almost closing time ;)
