This was an easy, entertaining read. However, it lacked the depth that Coelho's books usually have, so I was a little disappointed. But it helped pass time during the work-week so I can't complain.

Great stories. I always enjoy reading Margaret Atwood

Re-reading this excellent book.

This was a story of a man whose wife left him and he doesn't know why. Of course in their ten year marriage they had some indiscretions - which were never talked about, just silently accepted - and they had disagreements like any marriage does. However, they had given each other freedom and room to grow. As their relationship became more of a comfortable routine, his wife suddenly disappeared. The first year of her disappearance was hard for him, but in the second year, he made some amazing self-changes and really found himself.

This was a great book with a lot of in depth character development which I loved. Definitely recommend!

Loved the book. Murakami is a genius and never fails to blow my mind. Was a bit disappointed by the ending though.
