I suppose you could say this book is sort of Murakami "lite" - less intense in terms of non-linear narrative and the characters are a bit more concrete and the plot easier to discern. Nonetheless, it is a wonderfully beautiful book and one of Murakami's best. A must read if you are going to give Murakami a spin.
