Hailed as a bold foray into new literary territory, Kawakami’s novel is told in the voice of a 14-year-old student subjected to relentless torment for having a lazy eye. Instead of resisting, the boy chooses to suffer in complete resignation. The only person who understands what he is going through is a female classmate who suffers similar treatment at the hands of her tormenters.

Disturbing topic but glad to have listened
Revisado: 12-26-21
It is disturbing to find the complete lack of empathy and callousness of some of the characters, who are young children, in this book. Given the ability to change his circumstance to prevent future bullying and torture, I am glad the main character made the possible life changing decision to move forward with the change. I am equally disturbed by his supposed friend, Kojima, for attempting to guilt him into not making this change just so he could continued to be bullied as she had. Translation and performance for this book are very good but do not listen if you are sensitive to this topic.

Narration horrible
Revisado: 12-16-21
Excellent book but I cannot excuse the horrendous butchering in the pronunciation of Japanese words and phrases.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 483
Meet Ella, on the brink of turning 30 and full of regret for a life only half lived. In a haze of heartbreak after splitting up with the man she thought she was going to marry, she makes the only decision that seems rational and buys a one-way ticket to Paris, embarking on a pilgrimage of food, wine, and joie de vivre. She soon finds herself caught between two men who inhabit opposite ends of the Paris food scene, getting wined and dined by one and inadvertently making a bet to try every type of French cheese with the other.

Easy peasy
Revisado: 05-27-21
Just a light, fun and easy peasy listen to accompany me on the treadmill. Don't expect anything substantial and you won't be disappointed.

Overly melodramatic
Revisado: 04-23-21
I gave this a shot for 2 episodes and decided not to continue. The storyline and premise are ok but the voice acting appear overly melodramatic, exaggerated and unnatural. Perhaps because it is an audio play that the actors feel the need to over act in order to get their points across without a screen.
