World, Murakami has written a fragmentary and chaotic book. In trying to depict a fragmented, chaotic and ultimately unknowable ``Wind-Up Bird'' has some powerful scenes of antic comedy and some shattering scenes of historical power, but such moments do not add up to a satisfying, fully fashioned novel. But while Murakami seems to have tried to write a book with the esthetic heft and vision of, say, Don DeLillo's ``Underworld'' or Salman Rushdie's ``The Moor's Last Sigh,'' he Haruki Murakami's latest novel, ``The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle,'' is a wildly ambitious book that not only recapitulates the themes, motifs and preoccupations of his earlier work, but also aspires to invest that material with weighty mythicĪnd historical significance.

A modern, magical twist on the Gothic Romance and Girl Detective genres, this book will appeal to fans of both Beautiful Creatures and the Mortal Instruments series. ![]() ![]() Beforehand, I’d only read a few steampunk-themed books and it’d been a few years. ![]() When I first read Something Strange and Deadly, it acted as a re-introduction to the steampunk genre. And now, not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the balance. But as Eleanor spends more time with the Spirit-Hunters, including their maddeningly stubborn yet handsome inventor, Daniel, the situation becomes dire. If Eleanor is going to find him, she’ll have to venture into the lab of the notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces. Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. But this is nothing compared to what she’s just read in the newspaper-Īnd then, in a frightening attack, a zombie delivers a letter to Eleanor…from her brother.
