A review by dargan18
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

4.0

This is one of the strangest books I have ever read. At several points while reading this, including the ending, I said out loud to myself "What the fuck?" And yet I really enjoyed it and want to read more Murakami. It's a wild ride - super trippy, unexpected, comical at some points. Reading it felt like being inside a nonsensical but fun dream.

My biggest complaint was that the women in the book really only show up for sex scenes, all of which are super uncomfortable and not really important to the plot. That was annoying, but if you can stomach that, this is worth reading.
