I'm pretty sure when I finished the last page I just said "holy shit" aloud to myself like three times. This was outstanding; similar to Out by Natsuo Kirino, both the book itself and my feelings about it. I can't wait to read more of Ryu Murakami's books. (Perhaps he's no longer just the other Murakami who gets in my way when I'm looking for Haruki Murakami at the bookstore!)
