Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

Tokyo Decadence by Ryū Murakami

  • Rating: ****-
  • Genre(s): General Fiction

Note: I received a copy of this book through the Early Reviewer program of LibraryThing.

This collection of short stories by Ryu Murakami contains stories from several other collections. The stories vary from ‘normal’ (about relationships) to pretty gruesome (about violence, torture and murder). Definitely not for the faint of heart. I enjoyed reading this collection, although the more gruesome stories were a bit too much for me. I do think I will read more by Ryu Murakami, and all other stories lead me to give this collection 4 out of 5 stars.
