About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost 20 years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past.

This is the second book that i have read by Murakami - the first one was Sputnik Sweetheart which was a really big disappointment, At least this book was better than that, the story was fine, could have been a bit faster at times and overall the character scheme of the book was also just okay, I was expecting more as the story progressed. I just couldn’t relate to everything that the characters did and their reasons seemed very vague.

Murakami is not for me.

narration us slow n good, great voice modulated characters. A sad yet horny story with in detailed account of sex encounters, of mostly depressed souls... someone on pain may love it.. otherwise it's ok-ish

Depressivmng yet interesting

Book dives deep into your heart and brings to live all buried memories and emotions leaving you with some tears and smiles at the same time.

Book is full of red flag characters or to say all the characters in the story are a red flag makes you wonder if that’s true IRL as well.

Also, I wish that writing a letter would still be a thing in 2020s so that our generation could express better.

The narration of audio is very good. One of the best.

Don't know what to think of this book. I did like that it was not predictable, but it was strangely weird. In the end (episode 9) I was almost irritated with what childish story this is, but that’s not true as in the end of chapter 10 it made sense. It actually got me thinking about what life is, and how everything is not just right or wrong. I realised I was judging the characters and, somewhere along the way, myself. Still, I can’t deny… it was a really weird story. I’ll try reading more from this writer, maybe then I’ll make a bit more sense of it.

Strangely Weird, Strangely Insightful
