Norwegian Wood

**i'm going to think over the book more and give it more a fair review. but yeah, the two stars' description of “it was ok” is how I feel about it overall.Just finished so I'm kind of a mess. Just as affecting and beautifully written as [b:South of the Border, West of the Sun 17799 South of the Border, West of the Sun Haruki Murakami https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1443685506s/17799.jpg 1739145], but somehow much less defined conceptually. I think it suffers a little in comparison to Murakami's other plain-love-story because of that. The only way I can think of this book, having just finished it, is as a moody, tangled labyrinth of life and death. The subject matter was mostly horrible for where I am right now, and the deaths hit me forcefully, yet I couldn't put it down.
