This book was the most difficult book I ever rated, it was an emotional roll costar, a lot of weirdness and warmness at the same time. I am still confused about the ending, but I believe this is what it Suppose to make me feel.

This book left me with like 50 unanswered questions.

I have no idea how Nakata and Kafka are related but I'm pretty sure they share some kind of spirit together or are the different embodiments of the same spirit in different physical and mental dimensions. Also it was kinda weird that Kafka gets with his mom but there's a point for that just like there's a point for everything in the book

Even though I think the entire book was basically a fever dream, that's kinda the whole point. The book means everything but also nothing at the same time and Murakami does a great job of intertwining different timeline, stories, and characters while making a lot of sense and no sense. This book isn't supposed to have any clear meaning and thats why I loved it so much. It may not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy being thoroughly confused but interested, this book is a great one.
