Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami
3.0

It's an interesting book with interesting characters. Menshiki in particular left me wondering about his objectives. I would say the book was easy to read through, but the pacing could've been better. The first half is fairly slow and the classic Murakami surrealist setting only really manifests itself at the end for a brief moment, after which it is never spoken again.
The book could also have handled Mariye differently. Young girls do not talk about their breasts regularly, especially not to older men they don't really know. It was kind of weird.
That being said, the book wasa fascinating read but it wasn't one of his best works.
