Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami

3.0

---

I’ve you’ve never read Murakami before, this is a good introduction. But is it his best book? No. It’s collage of all his best tropes and ideas presented in as linear a format as he’s able. A nice round story with great characters touched with supernatural realities that end in philosophical questions. I can’t see myself ever reading this again. It’s not like other novels by Murakami where you question what you read and how everything relates and want to know what you missed the first time. If you have almost 800 pages to spare and don’t require too much of a challenge, it’s worth your time.
