I think it was a good idea to read Murakami chronologically. I think this story didn't have me scratching my head as much as his later, more famous works. The narrator is sent on a "wild sheep chase" as a powerful organization demands he find the one special sheep in a picture of a pasture he just happened to use in an ad he created at work. However, the story had the power to draw me in; I read the first half in one evening.

I love Haruki Murakami and most Japanese fiction, and this did not disappoint. A very strange and sometimes quite humorous fantasy tale. There were a couple of things in this book that I still can't quite figure out, but I will let the next reader be the judge. I enjoyed this.
