Explanation In Favor Of Books Audition

Murakami doesn't believe in boundaries, so if you expect an author to pull his punches, keep on moving past Audition. From maybe the tenth page forward, it's clear that no good will come of the obsession Aoyama, a Tokyo-based, widowed documentary film-maker and father to Shige, his teen son, develops for Yamasaki, the lovely, elegant and single former-ballet dancer with a troubled childhood. The elaborate set-up of fake auditions Aoyama and his best friend, Yoshikawa devise seems to forecast that the cause of Yamasaki's ultimate vengeance will be the morally questionable nature of the auditions, but the initial manner of Aoyama's and Yamasaki's introduction turns out to have zero relevance to subsequent events. The only thing that matters is that they meet and Aoyama allow his besottedness to blind him to common sense and Yoshikawa's reasonable cautionary advice. I shook my head multiple times in disbelief until he redeemed himself (view spoiler)[with his brilliant move with the remote control. (hide spoiler)]

Every scene between Aoyama and Yamasaki is dripping with suspense. Actually, every scene after they meet seems perilous, even when Yamasaki isn't present. It's not a case of if she'll flip out but when and how. And yet. Murakami is a master of suspense. He doesn't introduce distractions or humor to let the reader breathe. Every character is fully realized and authentic. You know who the bad guy is and who the victim is for the entire book and yet are driven to turn the next page and the next in order to see exactly how this will play out and if anyone will survive. Murakami is one of the few writers where the reader accepts that it's entirely possible that all characters will die. He's all in. Always. Read this when you have time to finish it in one sitting.

A warning for readers not familiar with Ryu Murakami, however, is in order. If you thought Misery was dismayingly violent, Audition isn't for you. Nothing in Murakami's catalog is.

For dog lovers: (view spoiler)[The dog dies at the end. It's brutal but over quickly. I customarily read no books where a dog dies or an animal is tortured, but in this instance, it's not a heart-rending scene because I didn't get attached to the dog and IMO not a reason to avoid the book.

Critique Containing Books Audition

Having read quite a lot of horror fiction and thrillers by writers such as Stephen King and Dean Koontz, I am not the kind of person that shies away from spine-chilling suspense and blood-curdling gore. I had my eye on this Ryu Murakami novel for a while and subsequently, I was expecting quite a lot from it. Unfortunately, from the very start the story failed to pull me in. First of all, I was irritated by the slow pace of the novel, which continues for no less than three-thirds of the book. I

A very small yet brilliant thriller that really sucker punches you in the end.The story begins in a very benign manner, where we are introduced to Aayoma, a documentary film maker, who is mourning the loss of his wife and hasn't dated anyone for over 7 years since her death. When his son also comments on this predicament, he reluctantly agrees to remarry. In an attempt to find a bride, he teams up with his friend Yoshikawa and they put together an audition for a fake film, where he meets

A brief warning, I will not be discussing the actual events of the novel (at least without a spoiler tag) other than a general plot description, but it is impossible to discuss this book without some spoilers in terms of tone. If you want to know nothing going in, consider yourself warned. Dear reader, please while reading the following paragraph, imagine it in the cheesiest movie trailer voice you can. Thank you.Youve laughed at Sleepless in Seattle, you were charmed by When Harry Met Sally and

It has to be one of the most haunting and disturbing books I've ever come across. The fact that it was a terribly gripping read didn't help me at all. Loved it, plain and simple.

This review and other dark melodrama on my blog."No forgiveness for lies."Is it the needle-sharp sting of malice, or unchecked madness grown poisonous?Or, in the end, is it just a small misunderstanding twisted beyond repair? Too beautiful, too wrong, too strange to be real.Aoyama himself is flawed, being a bit shallow and impatient - he focuses on women's looks and history more than their personality, and resorts to dating via a lazy scam of an audition. These things are somewhat small

Aoyama is a widower whose teenage son suggests that it might be time for him to remarry. When Aoyama mentions this possibility to a friend who works in in the film industry, the friend hatches a scheme to find Aoyama an attractive young wife quickly: They will launch a phony film production and will interview aspiring actresses for the nonexistent lead role. Despite his initial reservations, Ayoama goes along with this plan, succumbing to the fantasy of "himself surrounded by ten or twelve

No forgiveness for liesThis book is gruesome, haunting, disturbing and all of the rest of those adjectives you can throw at a perfectly executed horror story. There is nothing out of place in the novel. Each event works itself perfectly into the next and the cumulative effect of it all is powerful. The book is short and the prose is simple; chances are that you'll be able to read it all in one sitting. That is recommended because the full feeling of the novel carries itself perfectly to the last
