Review: Kafka on the Shore

Kafka on the Shore Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kafka on the Shore is a mystery. It is difficult to figure out. It is intriguing in all the right ways and all the wrong ways, but it somehow seems to come together. It is felt, the threads coming together and temptingly touching, so electric, but never really merging together. Rather, they wove themselves into something that is difficult to describe.

It is a beautiful book. Beautifully written, but more beautifully constructed.

The more I try to describe it, the less accurate my picture of what it feels like to read Kafka On The Shore.

It is unexpected in the most subtle ways.
