A review by m4rtt4
Komtuurin surma by Haruki Murakami, Juha Mylläri

mysterious reflective slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

Not necessarily bad, but boring and wayyyy too long. The magical realism was good as always, too bad there was so little of it.

If I took a shot every time Murakami mentions breasts, I would have died of alcohol poisoning only a couple of chapters in. It also disgusted me that Akikawa Marie existed as a character only so that he could sexualize a 13-year-old🫠
