A review by pzdrnk
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
5.0
Norwegian Wood is one of the most honest and beautifully written books I’ve ever come across. Its simplicity is poetic, yet it speaks volumes about life, love, and the quiet struggles that define our existence. If you’re drawn to existential themes, this book will resonate deeply.
It’s the kind of story that sneaks up on you. By the time you set it down, you realize just how much it’s moved you. When Watanabe read Midori’s letter, I felt this hollow ache, like she was writing to me personally. The entire novel has that effect—you get wrapped up in these characters without even noticing, and before long, you’re emotionally tied to their journeys.
It’s a book that offers a deep sense of catharsis, and for me, it was nothing short of incredible. Quite possibly my favorite book I’ve read so far.
