sifuCJC reviewed The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami
A short kid's fable
3 stars
Whoops! This is a short story. I thought it was a book.
I love Murakami's style, but it's an adult style. It doesn't fit so well for a simple fable told by a child.

Det er den klart mærkeligste af Haruki Murakamis bøger, jeg har læst, og det er ellers ikke fordi, ingen af de andre er mærkelige. Jeg har svært ved at finde mening med den her, og den fangede mig ikke rigtigt - i modsætning til mange andre af hans historier.
