I really enjoyed it, while reading it I got so involved in books world that I couldn't wait to read it all! I do not think that the main story resides on the plot, there are so many details and elements that make you connect with the characters. I personally enjoyed the old Nakata, and my heart was warmed up reaching such connection. I believe that the writing style, the narrative and timeline are the most important assets of this book. This was the first fiction book I read from Murakami, I had previously read ''What I talk about when talk about running", but ''Kafka on the shore'' was definitely the right choice to enter to Murakami's fictional world!(less)
