Norwegian Wood (Vintage International)

I'm not entirely sure why this book has received such fantastic reviews; it is the first book in a very long time that has made me want to stop reading or, at the very least, skip large chunks.

Honestly not many books can make you feel depressed as this one can. I would probably never recommend this to anyone, it's not a very nice this to do I guess.


Simply put it talks about death, depression and the test of us who has to go on living inspite of it. When the dead is long buried and when the grass grows over, not many of us gets to move on as easily and matter of factly as nature does. We die just a bit as well on those days and little by little every day since.

I could hardly continue reading it with welled up eyes and a foggy mind, but I hardly could keep it down either.
