Finished John Dies at the End by David Wong. It was okay all in all - imaginative, but not very well-written.
Started Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. I’ve been working my way through Murakami in publishing order for the last few years, reading one every few months, and it’s time for this one. I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far.
I liked John Dies at the End, and the movie adaptation was… different, but also fun!
I liked the book all in all - it just had a lot of flaws, and that made it kind of a slog.
Since this was not just a first novel but a first novel that started out as a webserial, I think it’s safe to assume that his later books are better, so I’ll undoubtedly go back to him some time.
For the rime being though, as a sort of palate cleanser, I was craving something that I could count on to be well-written if nothing else, and Murakami definitely fills that bill.
