Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami's writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility
Guardian
This book is undeniably hip, full of student uprisings, free love, booze and 1960s pop, it's also genuinely emotionally engaging, and describes the highs of adolescence as well as the lows
Independent on Sunday
Catches the absorption and giddy rush of adolescent love... It is also, for all the tragic momentum and the apparently kamikaze consciousness of many of its characters, often funny and quirkily observed. Quietly compulsive and finally moving
Times Literary Supplement
A heart-stoppingly moving story... Murakami is, without a doubt, one of the world's finest novelists
Glasgow Herald
Evocative, entertaining, sexy and funny; but then Murakami is one of the best writers around
Time Out
Murakami must already rank among the world's greatest living novelists
Guardian
Norwegian Wood is Japan's The Catcher in the Rye
Daily Telegraph
Everyone who reads Norwegian Wood runs out to buy copies for friends and lovers... Drawing on Fitzgerald, Capote, Chandler and the Japanese tradition, his books are at once disarmingly direct and slyly, charmingly evasive. They are playful and melancholy; full of wrong turns and red herrings, corridors that lead nowhere and - above all - girls who disappear
