1.0

Murakami writes well but this didn’t work for me. I mean, Every female character is either depressed and dependent on men or kills herself and sleeps with the main male character(s). The way women were written had me screaming. I was rooting for Toru & Naoko in the beginning because the earlier chapters were so gluing and I thought this was a love story but it just did too much and I didn’t fancy the characters one bit.
