Reader reviews for In the Miso Soup. Ryu Murakami
Review summary
Readers were split on Ry? Murakami’s In the Miso Soup. Many admired its vivid, claustrophobic tour of Kabukich? and the mounting dread in Kenji’s narration, but nearly all noted an extremely graphic set piece and pervasive gore. The novella’s brevity makes it a quick read, yet the pacing felt erratic and the plot thin or meandering to some. Murakami’s cross?cultural commentary intrigued certain readers while others found it shallow, male?oriented, or dated. The ending drew mixed reactions—from brilliant to underwhelming. Overall, it’s recommended mainly for horror fans comfortable with extreme violence.
