Wow, that was quite the book, so many things happen that really leave you thinking. The characters are morally grey I'd say, but each one is different from the other while perfectly connecting to one another seamlessly. The interactions, while some concerning all seemed so perfectly chosen and written for the plot. The best part to me are conversations between Kafka and Oshima, and of course the one conversation Kafka had with Sada. The way Oshima's character was written, turned him into I think my favourite character of the bunch. Took me a while to read, as I was in a reading slump, but regardless I'm happy I read it and I'm happy I read it now on my last year of high school.
