A review by jentang
Audition by Ryū Murakami

3.0

The pacing of this novel is sure to win a medium distance sprint in a track meet, but definitely not the hearts of readers. Insanely unfulfilling ending that wasted a well built general Murakami air of mystery and otherworldliness. However, the entirety of the book was still quite gripping, and the plotline is really quite something. A read I would definitely recommend for passing time in Union Square with a large iced chai.
