It's a very interesting book and concept. Definitely something fresh. It's amazing how it's like reading to book but is one cohesive story. Amazing how the autor makes such an amazing story that makes you want to read more to find out every detail of what is happening. This story is for people to not read it sounds like maniac speach. But still such a good book.

I liked this one so much? It's sweet, dark and surreal at times, but every character besides Kafka himself was incredibly interesting to read about. Some parts were disturbing like when he literally sleeps with his mother and rapes his sister but I loved Nakata, Oshima, and especially Hoshino. Though I feel like the ending solved not all the mysteries that I was expecting to be solved by then. But I honestly did not feel bored once, and even if I did, seconds later there would be fish falling from the sky. Or someone talking to a cat. Just the usual.
