Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. As their parallel odysseys unravel, cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghost-like pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since World War II. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle - one of many which combine to create an elegant and dreamlike masterpiece. 'Wonderful... Magical and outlandish' Daily Mail 'Hypnotic, spellbinding' The Times 'Cool, fluent and addictive' Daily Telegraph

Not the best quality

I've heard great things about this book, I haven't read it yet. But, I just got it in the mail and the first thing I noticed was the dented cover page and the side of the pages as well. However, still excited to read it!!

🌪BOOK REVIEW🌪

⚡Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami is an absolute gem that is gonna leave you astonished once you finish flipping through it thoroughly. This was my very first time attempting to read and comprehend his books and guess what? He stands out to be on the list of my favourite authors now.

⚡The formal strategy of Murakami in this book is to interpret conventional facets in an extraordinary way making them even more remarkable for the readers. His writing style is precisely gonna make you fall for his works. But before sharing my outlook let's get back to the blurb of the book so that you can determine adequately whether to read it or not but if you'd ask me I'll certainly tell you to read this at least for one cuz if you admire reading fictional books with non-fictional values this is exactly the one for you.

⚡Kafka Tamura was identified to be the world's toughest 15-year-old (in this book). Having a pathetic childhood, Kafka decides to run away from home on his fifteenth birthday under the shadow of his father's dark prophecy. Kafka lost all the means of communication with his mother and sister who happened to abandon him along with his father when he was just a toddler. Since then nothing worked out between him and his dad. Before this, he was never really out in a different location so this journey was surely not going to be lenient for him.

⚡Whereas, on the other side Nakata is a senior individual who is practically known around as the tracer of lost cats. He happened to deal with a miserable incident in his adolescence for which he lost his ability to read and write. Everyone around him including Nakata himself thought he was dumb but little did they know he had a hidden potential inside him which will leave all stupified?

⚡As their parallel odysseys unravel, there is a turbulent assassinating but the identity of both the victim and murderer is a riddle. Now, what impression do you have of this masterpiece?

⚡I was completely engrossed in this book. You may find the first few pages to be a little boring but trust me it will take a complete U-turn and you will find yourself absorbed in this entirely as you elongate reading it. Also, I'm happy to announce that it's the first book I've completed consisting of 500+ pages. Apart from this be ready to yearn for answers to some intense questions which the author had exemplified in a very distinct way. I'm still figuring them out. But I find it really unique as everyone might have a different answer to it from a different perspective. So it's our verdict that will decide the ultimate objective of this book. Sound's incredible nah?! I've said sufficiently, now it's your time to decide.
