About the Book
A serious, quiet young college student in Tokyo - Toru, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman. Their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend many years back. Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and isolation he faces there. But Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable and painful. Norwegian Wood is the story of Naoko who retreats further into her own world, and Toru who is drawn to a fiercely independent young woman.

Worth every penny
(Personally, due to having a busy lifestyle, almost lost this habit of reading novels for years. This book has brought back the old me again. It's a wonderful warm feeling inside)

Must buy!
The density and extend of emotions that fledge in you while you grip on to this book cannot be put into words.
If you are sad or depressed i would suggest you stay away from this book.Also if you are a fragile soul dont mind reading this.But if you are open to all kinds of rollercoaster like emotions.Then go for it at once.
Murakami wont dissapoint you.
Not saying much; as spoilers will reduc...

A captivating capsule of adolescence !
instead , ended up living the book.
the protagonist's character is one which everyone could relate to.
the varying degrees to which the three main characters , take life seriously , is beautifully etched.
the magical metaphors used , metamorphose into stunning and seductive scenes in your mind.
there's something in this book for everyone and everything in this book makes you think of that special someone !
