This book is nice but not special.
The plot is simple. Tazaki Tsukuru is a normal guy who was expelled from his club of friends without a real motivation. For many long years (sixteen exactly) he missed his group but he couldn't write to them or know the truth.
Murakami's prose is particular and suggestive. The Japanese traditions are important in all of his books. Indeed there're so many images linked to Murakami's culture.
