A review by alf_read
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

challenging dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

Something which was probably progressive in 80s conservative Japanese society now feels horribly dated. It’s so promiscuous but in a way that objectifies the female characters into two-dimensional vehicles of wanton lust.
