Book Review : After the Quake

 



After the quake by Haruki Murakami, is a fiction novel that pictures 6 different stories. How the situations were at different places for different people after the quake happened.


Why to Read It?
If you are a fiction readaholic, this book is for you because you cannot take your imagination to the extent the author is going to turn the story of each chapter. It is up to the mark in presenting different people, their experiences and places they had been when earthquake happened.

What I liked the Most?
The chapter presenting the story of the Frog, Worm and the man who was supposed to talk to worm with frog to prevent the coming earthquake in that area. I felt like everything was happening in real until the twist of man's imagination was revealed.

So, try out this book and share your experience about the chapters you liked the most!
