Hey there, book lovers! I'm back with my another interesting read. This time it is "Kafka on the Shore" by Haruki Murakami. A very famous book by a very famous author. It holds a special place in my heart as it was my birthday gift and also my first dive into Murakami's wild world. I’m not kidding it is really bizarre.
Let me tell you, this book is something else! It's like entering into a dream in which anything can show up. We were given two foremost characters: Kafka, this teen who runs away from home, and Nakata, a vintage guy who can chat with cats. Yeah, you heard that right - talking with cats!
Coming to the author, Murakami's writing style is so cool. It's easy to read, however, it makes you think really deep thoughts. He mixes normal stuff with totally bizarre matters. Like, one minute you are studying about someone making coffee, and the following, it is raining fishes. It's crazy, but by some means all of it works!
I was not able to place this book down. I imply it - I completed it in just three days! Every chapter left me wanting more. It's like a puzzle that you cannot stop trying to clear up.
The pleasant component? There's no one "proper" way to apprehend the story. Murakami lets you determine things out of yourself. It will left you feel confused even after you have finished reading it.
I'm so glad this book became my intro to Murakami. Earlier I used to wonder what’s the hype of Murakami was all about. Now I know, why. It unfolded a whole new world of imagination for me. If you need a book that'll blow your thoughts and make you notice things in a different way, give "Kafka at the Shore"a shot. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
This birthday gift wasn't only a book - for me it became a ticket to a paranormal reading journey. I'm totally addicted to Murakami now and cannot wait to read more of his stuff. Who knew reading this book was so exciting?
