A hunky matinee idol doomed to play dentists and teachers. And dance is what our hero does . In this propulsive novel, featuring a shabby but oracular Sheep Man, one of the most idiosyncratically brilliant writers at work today fuses together science fiction, the hardboiled thriller, and white-hot satire. An assault on the senses, part murder mystery, part metaphysical speculation; a fable for our times as catchy as a rock song blasting from the window of a sports car. Dance Dance Dance—a follow-up to A Wild Sheep Chase—is a tense, poignant, and often hilarious ride through Murakami’s Japan, a place where everything that is not up for sale is up for grabs. As he searches for a mysteriously vanished girlfriend, Haruki Murakami's protagonist plunges into a wind tunnel of sexual violence and metaphysical dread in which he collides with call girls; plays chaperone to a lovely teenaged psychic; and receives cryptic instructions from a shabby but oracular Sheep Man. High-class call girls billed to Mastercard.

The writing was beautiful as always, and there was just the right amount of weird and surrealism. The journey is often weird and strange (as you would expect from Murakami).

Reading Murakami is like falling into a dream, while being wide awake, holding a book in your hand! Cheers! The protagonist goes through various journeys and experiences, which range from revisiting a past sexual encounter, a mysterious hotel, a too-intense relationship with a 13 year old girl, and probably the best sequence in the book - an obsession with returning to the cinema to watch the same scene in the same bad movie over and over again (which leads to a friendship with a film star and a murder-plot).

It's his journey to find himself and to fall in love again. The trilogy (which is actually called the ‘Rat Trilogy’), consists of below books in this order:#1 Wind/Pinball#2 A Wild Sheep Chase#3 Dance Dance DanceAt its heart “Dance Dance Dance” is a story about a man who has lost his love, feels disconnected from the society, and his journey to pick up the threads and put together lost connections again. Yet, it did touch me at various occasions and I did enjoy it and it was full of memorable moments and quirky characters. This book was my introduction to Murakami so it was important to me to get a copy with the original cover art.

The novel didn't strike me as impressive or clever and it didn't strike me as subtle and thought-provoking either. The narrator's journey is more like a gentle trip towards the realization that life doesn't suck when we connect with people.
Hence, being a Murakami fan, I would give it a 4/5. For people who are new to Murakami, they should know that this book is the third one, in a trilogy.
Delivered on timeBut the edge of the cover was foldedI like my books in perfect conditionO hope next time it wont happen This purchase was to replace my original copy that I loaned out and never got back. That is not what I got, I got the new cover which I could have bought when I placed my order while standing in Barnes & Noble.
