Norwegian Wood

This book was really good and I would read again but good lord the very end got to me- I probably would have given it 4 stars otherwise. It had me in tears, it touched my heart...yada yada.

The protagonist struggles with Naoko's death and the fact that his heart wants him to move on with Midori but he feels guilty. And then out of the blue he sleeps with Reiko repeatedly before feeling ready to move on and call Midori. Like, what? By sleeping with Reiko he feels ready to move on with Midori?

Ok.

There are a lot of criticisms in other reviews that cover my other concerns with the book, and it was slow at times - but all in all it was a decent, eloquent novel.
