mh_books 's review for:

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
5.0

This is a story about a boy who loves books and runs away from home and lives in a Library.

This is a story written by an author who likes to describe the food people eat, the clothes they wear, their washing rituals and sexual encounters in very blunt and plain language.

This is a story where a man can talk to cats and a boy to a crow boy. The cats in this story are wise and funny. The dog not so much.

This is a story about an oedipal prophecy that may or may not comes true.

In this story one character can only live in the past, where she is forever 15, the other can only live in the present, because of something that happened in the past.

This story includes some important interventions by Colonel Sanders and Johnnie Walker.

This is a story about the beauty of the imperfections in playing a piece of music.

This is the story about a man who cannot be a male chauvinistic because he is a woman.

This is a story filled with hidden dimensions and X-file mysteries.

This was not a story to fall asleep too while listening on audible; it led to crazy dreams.

This story refuses to follow the rules of narrative and will ask more questions than it answers.

Is this the story for you? It was for me.
