A bit weird in terms of its subject a beautiful woman whos asleep for over two months , not in a coma but asleep and isolated within a room by her own choice and her boringly ordinary sister whos out for a night about, just to get away from it all. Another morbid book you'd think but surprisingly well written . The books called After Dark, and its by Haruki Murakami. Probably will try and read another one of his books
Its strange what all one can enjoy reading at times , its wasnt the story or the plot which was really absorbing but rather the style in which the book was written its the conversations that he makes interesting. Its not the plot or the story that grips you but the details of ordinary conversations, the lengths of them its like being there. I never knew conversations could be that interesting but i guess from my latest post its visible that at times they are.
The book also involves a chinese prostitute working for the chinese mob, and an It professional who vents out his frustration or gets his pleasure from hitting this girl. Thats what the book ends abruptly and you are left wanting more a bit more but at the same time satisfied because the plot wasn't as gripping anyways. The journey through it was good but the destination you aren't quite sure of.
I have read this book once again since the post was originally written and nothing has changed but somehow the second read was better . Should get another of his books
