    Story
    (131)

    Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and isolation he faces there, but Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable.

    Story

    The only good thing about Yaegashi's narrating is that he pronounces all the Japanese names and places correctly. Otherwise his voice and reading are very annoying, and when he does the women's voices they sound like shriveled old witches. It's terrible.

    The story is great however, stamped with Murakami's trademark prose and descriptions.
