A dream of falling from the sky...and then birth. Rakka is born from a large cocoon, greeted by a group of people with small wings on their backs and shining halos above their heads. Soon Rakka's own wings grow, a halo is placed on her head and she is told that she must work in the nearby town of Grie. She soon realizes that the town and the entire world they live in are confined behind the Wall, a tall, impenetrable wall that none except the mysterious Toga are allowed to exit.
I will think of something better to write, and I thank anyone for any help ^^
The only other book of Murakami's I've read is Norwegian Wood, which was effin' fantastic, and one of the best books I've ever read. It's loads better than Hard-Boiled Wonderland.
Next one I'm going to shoot for is Kafuka on the Shore, but I plan on getting through his entire catalog at some point. Absolutely love his writing style.
Alright, so.... anyone else read Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World? It's the book Haibane Renmei takes its setting from. Personally thought it was good, though actually inferior to Haibane Renmei.
