A review by pjstudies
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

adventurous dark mysterious reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

for starters, haruki murakami should not be allowed within a 3km radius of cats. or women. i won't even bother going into detail, but this entire story is a brainfuck. that being said, i actually enjoyed reading it, even if i wanted to throw up on multiple occasions due to either the description of female characters, or the cats. i will not elaborate on the cats, but you have been warned. i really want to give this a lower rating, but i think the book was laced with crack because 4 stars is the lowest i'm going.
