A review by fulltimefiction
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

1.0

I kept hoping it gets better. It took me so long to read and made me watch tv shows instead of reading.. call me shallow or whatever you want but this book is trying to be philosophical and deep too hard. Too much details, too many things were mentioned and didn’t affect the plot (uhm wait what plot) in any way. We still didn’t get any explanation on some bizarre events/characters. A few events were just too disturbing and not in a good way. I honestly wanted to give it 2 stars but then realized there’s nothing that affected me in Kafka on the shore -which was the whole point of this boring book. I very much struggled to finish it. I doubt I’ll be reading another Murakami anytime soon.
