mpedroncelli6 's review for:

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
4.0
adventurous dark emotional hopeful mysterious reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
A very poignant take on the passage of time and the death of a human through the lens of an old man and a 15 year old boy. Murakami creates one of the strangest worlds I’ve read, from talking cats to colonel sanders the pimp, there wasn’t a boring moment. As always, murakamis portrayal of women is not good, and there are a few scenes that threw me for a loop.
