Kafka on the shore review. Last Blog!

Kafka on the Shore was indeed an interesting novel. When I read the book summary on the back of the book, I completely missed the part that said the main character had an Oedipal complex (maybe because it wasn't capitalized) and when I started the book, it started to soon get weird. Kafka on the Shore was a fantasy novel with many odd and dream sequences that I myself had a hard time understanding until the very end. I was very intrigued by the whole Oedipal complex and how it controlled Kafkas actions, even though he was trying to run away from the prophecy, it eventually came back and got him, eventually being fulfilled by the end of the story. I wasn't particularly a fan of the novel in general, and many parts weirded me out, mainly the sleeping with his mother and sister and killing his dad. Also the parts where it described blood in deathly and the dream sequences were very weird and I am not a fan of those scenes, I get a little squeamish sometimes. Overall, it was a very interesting read, but I wasn't that much of a fan.
