Great review. How can I know the stats my parents rolled for me? I'm a bit curious 😉
I wish I could find the rare +2 INT wizard hat!
As for this book, I've read two of Murakami so far, 1Q84 and Kafka on the shore, but not his first one. Looks like a very promising read ; and I admit you hit the nail on the head, it often feels like he writes about the characters like he sees them through a slightly altering lens.
Did you read IQ84? What did you think of it?
