It started out great, but halfway through the novel things started to drag, and by the end of it I could barely take it anymore.

“If you're in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark.”
I feel as if the only way to really appreciate and enjoy a Murakami novel is to connect with it. No matter the connections, no matter how you make them; you just have to do it. You have to connect. Murakami is not a writer of important and overachieving stories – ultra-elaborated and spectacularly complex plots –, he is a writer of daily characters, of tempered emotions, of somewhat distorted and disturbing self-discoveries. This is what I like about him, how he manages to construct his derivative narrations in the detriment of his characters. That’s why and how I connect with his books. Which is also what makes him, to some extent, kind of overrated. Unfortunately, Norwegian Wood did not present itself to me in these terms. I felt disconnected with its characters, with their trials, and their almost-but-not-really settled pleas. With the exception of Midori, perhaps, I finished reading this thinking I hadn’t truly met anyone, they were all playing an act – even to themselves, it seemed; which is an interesting choice when it comes through, but it didn't. Maybe the settings contributed? The 60s and the 70s just won’t do for me, and I don’t know why, but truth be told I wouldn’t have cared about it even if it had taken place in another decade. Maybe it was Jay Rubin's translation I found to be broken and fragmented, rather contrived at times. The point is, being very blunt about it, that I didn’t care about anything that happened in this story and I didn’t like 99% of its characters. And that doesn’t make for a great review, I know! And yet, I don't feel like I lost my time reading this, isn't it weird?
