A review by readerofdafuk
In the Miso Soup by Ryū Murakami

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

It's a well paced and well written book. I really felt for Kenji as his regular tour with a weirdo takes a turn. Heavy themes of sexuality, prostitution, places in any society, and violence. I feel like some of it flew over my head

 It isn't as horror or killing as I thought it would be. It was more tense than anything with how weird Frank is, then how to get rid of him. It is still a good book, but not as violent as I hoped as weird as it sounds.
