3.8★ Like all Murakami novels, this speaks about how the world is made out of "unimportant/useless people". Highlighting the commonality of things considered alienated, characters representing attributes such as clumsiness, air-headedness, anxiety, frustration, hopelessness, find their abode in his books. With similar theme, Sputnik Sweetheart spoke to me about lost things, not being able to trace ones ownself, people living in two different mental stages, and quite possibly two different worlds, and almost touching that one person we could really connect to. Like satalites having different paths and are not able to touch one another, I found Murakami writing here about people who think differently, having different lives trying to reach out to one another with only one thing in common, they are all broken. Each broken in his own way. Quite an intrinsic book. Would have rated 4 but i was sort of expecting some bigger spark. Like as big as dinosaur, tho it did have some "pallid moonlite" thing by the end. Over all, a nice read.
