Bizarre, brilliant, tragic and unique. A fantastically written book but often times very literal. Very very very good (I didn’t realise just quite how heavy going this book is until I did the trigger warnings)

The book is beautifully written and is very engaging throughout. I would have rated it more highly, but it’s depictions of women and sexual assault/consent leave a feeling of ickiness that is hard to ignore. They detract from the book, but it is still a very enjoyable read

sugarmountain's review against another edition

 私が求めているのは単なるわがままなの。完璧なわがまま。たとえば今私があなたに向って苺のショート・ケーキが食べたいって言うわね、するとあなたは何もかも放りだして走ってそれを買いに行くのよ。そしてはあはあ言いながら帰ってきて「はいミドリ、苺のショート・ケーキだよ」ってさしだすでしょ、すると私は「ふん、こんなのもう食べたくなくなっちゃったわよ」って言ってそれを窓からぽいと放り投げるの。私が求めているのはそういうものなの。 

its something, alright. it wouldnt be right to call this my favorite book - but i loved it. really loved it. so do what you will with that

5.0

Norwegian Wood is the longest book that I’ve read so far this year, and I really enjoyed it. Last week I read over half of the book, and at one point I read 50 pages a day, which is pretty crazy for me, because I usually take a week to read 50 pages.
I really really enjoyed Murakami’s writing style in NW, it's very easy flowing/easy to read. I have no idea why I was so drawn to this book but it is really good, there were a few points in the book where I wondered “Why am I even reading this?”, but I kept on going, and I am really glad I did.
