“Do you ever read a book that takes forever because you weren't in the right frame of mind and the timing was off? That's how Kafka on the Shore started out for me. My first thought was that this book was bizarre. One thing I knew right away, but couldn't exactly put into words was my aversion to the 2nd person, present tense narratives. I felt at times this book could have been better with the help of a good editor. All that said, it's really a unique read and worth checking out. The writing itself is quite good -- handsome and ready to please if one can actually sit down and take the time to focus. I don't even want to tell you what it's about because I think it transcends the typical plot summary/descriptions. I'd recommend reading this if you're in the right frame of mind to do so!”
