4.0

This book was a journey, I liked the way the story was carried through the voice of the character K, seeing everything from his point of view was a nice grounding for the storyline. I really liked the book and the connection around Sputnik Sweetheart

Spoiler

, Sputnik meaning "traveling companion" but the satellite Sputnik is traveling utterly alone

. I loved K as a character, his metaphors and how he could answer all of the questions along with his own questioning of himself. There is a lot of mystery in the story, and I believe it was unveiled well, and some of it is a little out there, but I found it still great.

Een van de meer licht verteerbare boeken van Murakami naar mijn mening. Er staan soms ook wel mooie passages in over dromen, eenzaamheid en liefde.
Voor mij en perfecte Murakami om even ertussendoor te nemen als je een paar dagen op de zetel vastzit
