5By AaplMaxMurakami is a master of the short story and this one is no exception. As with most things he writes I am always left wanting more.Strange and haunting
5By LizanneoramaI read this book in practically one breath. It has many illustrations so technically it is only half of 125 pages. I would say it is actually a short story stretched into a book. I must admit that the short story is long on meaning. I will be thinking about the story for many days and reflecting on the possibilities of interpretation and relevance to what is called reality.Time I'm never getting back
1By Readersaurus RexSeriously, this book was a total waste of time. It comes in at about a second grade reading level, and is never terribly interesting. Avoid at all costs.
