Comment:
First of all, I really respect Haruki Murakami, and this story is one of my favorite novel. I think it isnt a love story because I thought about death a lot than love. Murakami world is often strange and peculiar, but this is very genuin, but very complicated.
It is not so easy to read, but i've read it already so i could guess the word meaning, and finished to read somehow.

Comment:
I've read this story in Japanese already, but i was interested in reading also in English because i really love this story! This story changed my life!
My best scene is the interaction with a little prince and a fox. I was really moved by fox's word "what is essential is invisible to the eys".
I remenber this word forever in my life.

Fantastic Mr.Fox
Author: Roald Dahl
Pages：９６
Summary:
Boggie, Bunce and Bean who are nasty farmer and they are always bothered by Mr. Fox who is very smart and he has a lovable wife and children. For them, Mr Fox tries to catch some foods which Boggie, Bunce and Bean has so they decide to kill Mr. Fox, but Mr. Fox is more clever than them, so they can not kill him. At last, eventually Mr Fox is not catched by them, and his family and other animals who Mr Fox meet while he fight with 3B enjoy their meal together.
Comment:
I like Roald Dahl's novels and this story is also wonderful! Especially, when raccoon asked Mr Fox "Is thief not the bad thing?", he answered "even they're(3B) trying to kill me, Im not trying to kill them". I think it is very deep answer and thought lots of things. (maybe these sentences are wrong!)
I'd like to read more Dahl's story:)
