After Dark

This book is great. It's short and bit simpler than his other works. After Dark" is a fascinating novel about a girl who cannot sleep and about a girl who cannot wake up.

It might be my second favourite after 1Q84. It was a good ride in the flow of the storyline. Readers who aren't used to murakami's style of writing would maybe get a little confused at first but I believe that he'll manage to grasp anyone interested in his works into being a somewhat depressed human being. I don't know, murakami's that good

What a weird, beguiling little book. You just sort of float around while this Altman-esque point of view shifts back and forth between a little ensemble of strange, endeeringly damaged people. Murakami's narration is what really makes this work so well, the voice he uses is almost mesmerizing at times. The whole thing is just suffused with this jazzy, hypnotic stlye that occasionally veers into something darker, something more primevally resonant. If William Gibson and David Lynch wrote a book together while listening to Kind of Blue, they would probably have come up with something like this. What does happen out there in the world after dark? What indeed.

The style of writing was incredible and detailed, and it kept my attention till the very end.

This book is incredible. really recommend it.
