It may seem idiotic to complain about lack of plausibility in a meandering narrative featuring talking cats and ghostly spirits, especially one featuring a running commentary about metaphor and allegory - but that is Kafka on the Shore’s main flaw, and one that makes it a more insubstantial experience than its weighty appearance suggests." - Ludovic Hunter-Tilney, Financial Times Although the resolution is weak, Murakami builds suspense skilfully and draws you inexorably into a convoluted, fantastical storyline. " Kafka on the Shore is undoubtedly a very readable book.(.) Philip Gabriel's English-language text is also pretty clunky in places" - Christopher Tayler, Daily Telegraph "(T)hough it will leave his long-term fans feeling slightly disappointed, there's no reason to suspect that the dauntingly prolific Murakami is in danger of going permanently off the boil.Not quite a consensus, but most enthusiastic (but also with some reservations) General information | review summaries | our review | links | about the authorī+ : a bit heavy on the mysticism, but the story unfolds nicely ![]() Trying to meet all your book preview and review needs. ![]()
