I ended up cutting this book into books one and two because it was too heavy to carry aound in my bag. It has two parallel stories which at the end of book one are just starting to touch. One is of a young fitness instructor who seems to be an assasin, and the other of a quiet Maths teacher and writer who agrees to ghost write, or rework, a story written by a teenage girl for a literary competition.

The book seems to get more complicated and more confusing as it goes on, but I was really happy to sit back and let it tell me things. The way Murakami writes is calm, precise and detailed and it somehow provokes a trust, that the things he is telling you are relevant and worth knowing. Complex and beautifully written and intriguing.
