Everyone won't like it.
You will have to read some other stuff,other classic books, a taste of magic realism and all that before you get here.
The ending is criticised by many but once you start reading it you will understand the flow, how the story is and by the time you reach the end you will understand why it ends like that even though you might not agree to the ending. Hell, you might not like the whole story but the time won't surely be wasted.
I highly recommend it to one and all.

This book reminds me of a much more sophisticated version of John Dies at the End. I say this because of the appearances of Johnnie Walker and Colonel Sanders, which seemed very silly. There were parts of this book that were so whimsical and spiritual, while other parts were so graphic and disturbing. Nakata's perspective is easily my favorite. I do wish it dove further into Nakata and Miss Saeki's timeline with the entrance stone and their experiences in the other world. I very strongly disliked the violent and predatory aspects of Kafka's perspective; as well as the animal cruelty in Nakata's timeline. Kafka's journey is essentially Oedipus Rex. Nakata and Hoshino go through huge character development.
