☽ ˚•̩̩͙ THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS•̩̩͙˚＊☾
This is the first time that I am reading Murakami Work and I am hoping that the book itself, would immerse me more to getting more books by the said author. Wishlist reading the book I can tell the book itself it well tought out, the writing itself is immaculate and enjoyable to read. In some moments in the book itself I felt connected to Kafka the main character of the story.
With each chapter that I read and pass the more I get surprised and the more I take notice that this book is not a normal standard book.
The most chapters I am enjoying are where the cats are involved in the story, it is so entertaining that is gives you a little break from the rest of the other chapters when they get a bit heavy.
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ EXTRAS: MY TOUGHTS TROUGHOUT THE BOOK ITSELF ☽ ˚•̩̩͙
Chapter The Boy Names Crow: Starting the first chapter, I can tell that I am going to enjoy this read. It already has a mystery sounding the two characters that just been introduced to the story itself. The writing of the first prologue of the story is a good hook up to pull me right in. Also, this is my first-time reading Murakami work.
Chapter 1: I keep noticing the bold test in this chapter, and the bold tests are written so well and deep. Yet, I cannot stop thinking that the bold test is either the main character subconscious or his deeper thoughts or dark ones.
Chapter 4: I am noticing that each chapter it changes from the main character story to a report sort of chapter. I wonder if it connected somehow.
Note to Self - Main character name is Kafka Tamura, and the female character is Sakura.
Chapter 6: OMG! A TALKING CAT!!!! A JAPANESE TALKING CAT!!! Well, the man can talk to the cat but still A TALKING CAT?!
Chapter 7 : Debating if this Crow person is a figment of imagination of Kafka, and Crow is not real at all.
Chapter 10: So far, all the chapters that contain Mr. Nakata are the best chapters.
I forgot which chapter I got up to, but I am up to Page 190: The most disguising thing I ever read was the part where the cat killed was doing that, I do not want to even speak about it nor imagine it. Reading that chapter and part, I had to take a breather and stop reading it because it felt too much to stomach.
Chapter 28:- I am stick shocked that the KFC guy is in this book, it feels somewhat of a joke and somehow off putting. Like what sort of business does he need to be there, and offering a prostitute in the first place?
Chapter 39:- I am simply degusted with the last few pages of this chapter like. She is an old lady? And you are what a 15-year-old boy? A minor?
Other Reading notes: I really love how the story is simply connecting towards the end.
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ WHAT DID I FEEL WHEN I FINISHED THE BOOK? ☽ ˚•̩̩͙
Reading this book felt like a wonderland adventure of two different characters and how they all came to connect towards the end. At first this book was going to end on a solid 4 stars but the ending itself turned to be a 5 star. The ending of the book felt like a fever dream that I had read.
