A review by ramblingsofareader
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
5.0
After a heavy day out in the sun, have you tried a really cold iced coffee? Have you experienced how it sends a chill to the top of your head, your fingertips, your spine and your toes? And then, it gradually cools you down. That's how this book filled me up with emotions.
This is not a story about Toru and Naoko, or Modori or Reiko. It's a story of everyone. There's a little bit of everyone there. I don't know how Murakami does that. He squeeze our emotions, stirs them and suddenly some things, some moments and some people starts to make more sense.
While reading this, I felt a sudden urge to highlight some lines and scribble my thoughts. I read the ebook. If I had the book, I would've definitely done that, which is so strange, as I do not ever scribble in my books.
How he use songs to create moods. I haven't heard many songs in the book, but the songs I've heard created moods which words can never do. I love that concept.
