Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami takes you into a magical world where people have feelings to express. The plot had a very unusual start, with the life of a 15-year-old boy. Murakami's writing is wonderful, capturing each character's emotions and depth. Nakata's character was the most different one. I just loved how the story finally connected itself with the happenings. But, somewhere, too many unanswered questions were left at the end. The world created by the author was unbelievable and wonderful. I wish this book would have never ended, as there are so many layers to the story.

Although I couldn't grasp some of Kafka's life, the book still made a wonderful impression. And the idea of traveling through a dream was just something else. Indeed, Murakami's writing leaves readers with lingering questions as he weaves together surreal elements and philosophical musings that can be captivating. Definitely, the book deserves 5 stars.… (more)

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

Surrealistic page-turner where each of the two intertwined stories is as absorbing as the other and the text is peppered with music, philosophical and literary references, enough to create a new booklist.
