After the Quake – 3.5 Stars:
These short stories are “cute” and carry a consistent theme, but for me, they’re missing that Murakami magic. I found myself a little bored and often distracted while listening.
The only story that really stood out was “Super-Frog Saves Tokyo”—it had the right energy and vibe I associate with his best work.
Not my favorite from the author, but not without charm.
