semisomnus 's review for:

Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami

3.0

---

I usually ADORE Murakami, but this one fell flat for me. It took me seven months to trudge through this book. It felt like a chore to read. I didn’t feel invested in any of the characters, and the sexualization of a thirteen-year-old girl was a little icky for me. By the end, I was rolling my eyes at her obsession with her own breasts. I’m giving this three stars because the writing and atmosphere are beautiful as always, but I must say I was disappointed with this book.
