Kafka on The Shore by Murakami

BATB score: 7.5/10 😨

for the 75% that I understood what Murakami was trying to say... so many uncanny characters and bewildered incidents leaving readers in an influx of ambiguous feelings; this Murakami is definitely a unique soul!

Best to: Murakami's way of writing is "Murakami-ly" one of a kind; he writes in an odd flow of episodes where you restlessly continue to read hoping for some closure when there is none - and now you are left with a huge Murakami gap in your heart.

Best for: you either love Murakami or don't give a damn - but you should give him a try and you'll understand. #murakami

Best as: a very distinctively vague novel; excruciatingly difficult to explain... so there were talking cats, Colonel Sanders from KFC, Johnnie Walker, raining leeches, a lot of wet dreams, and a magic stone.
