After Dark/YMMV


 * Paranoia Fuel: "You will never get away. No matter how far you run, we're going to get you."
 * Viewers Are Morons: One common complaint about the book is that it suddenly ends without much plot having happened. Some critics claim that since Murakami's book almost always end suddenly and without closure, he just got bored halfway through his would-be plot and ended the book, figuring his readers would think it was deep and meaningful. Word of God is conspicuously silent on the matter.
