mrfaramarzi 's review for:
Kafka on the Shore
by Haruki Murakami
mysterious
reflective
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The book starts fun but then really drifts into a territory I didn't gel that much with. Ultimately the story of Kafka hinges on a un-critical misogynist view of women and their use in narrative. I just think Murakami doesn't like women very much or think highly of them.
