Ghad Nurakami has his own way of delivering things, most books I've read they explain what the characters emotions at a certain point of time and you get to know that a character felt such emotion but in kafka on the shore it's more than just knowing what the characters emotions are it's feeling what they actually feel on that certain situation or emotional state. It felt surreal and it pierced through text especially when kafka was on the forest, I'm just enthralled to read such an amazing book.

Anybody else forgets murakami's works after they read it? Well I do. I have read Kafka on the shore, Sputnik sweetheart with my utmost concentration ans still can't recollect anything. But when u reread it everything is familiar like how certain imageries and scenarios in our dreams are. Maybe like a deja vu. it's indeed magical

Kafka on the shore is my second favorite book of all time. What an awesome mix of magical realism, fantastical(and creepy) eroticism, and mind bending adventure. I really loved the book, and was enthralled by the story, which was unlike anything I had ever read.

Came across this book by instinct on university's library 8 years ago! The book really opened a secret library far away inside my head! The book was fascinating and everytime I re-read it the enigmas within the story pops here and there! A definite joyful ride!

I just finished this book and honestly I'm frustrated.
It feels like I just failed finish a puzzle
I keep feeling like there's something that I'm missing out from this book but idk what and why

I read 5 chapters, I have honestly never read something so refreshing, the author has some technique to make words look good together, made me fall into the story world so quickly

Haruki Murakami is one of my favorite authors. His tone is very melancholic and when I read any of his works, I'm already at 80% but I still don't know what's happening. Haha.

The book to me is like a dream. It's foggy, not clear, each time I think about it it's different.
And I believe no one would have the same feeling and conclusion on this book.

! WARNING!
If your TBR is too long, don't watch this video. They are tooooooooooooo effective that they tempt you so much to pick the book up. Beware!

Why would you not mention Everything in Its Right Place by Radiohead as one of the musical references? IMO it symbolizes the theme of the entire book.
