lellowlava 's review for:

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
5.0
adventurous dark emotional inspiring mysterious reflective relaxing sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

i don’t know what to think of it, and i can’t quite say what it means, but reading it made me feel the whole range of emotions at the same time as kafka, and i think the book let me take what i wanted from it, even though i don’t know what that is. i‘ll probably revisit it soon to underline & think about it some more. reminded me a lot of die unendliche geschichte, but maybe that’s just the incessant michael ende in my head & recency bias
