Review:

"[O]ne of Murakami's most appealing--if uncharacteristic--books....A contemporary equivalent of THIS SIDE OF PARADISE or VILE BODIES, and another solid building-block in one of contemporary fiction's most energetic and impressive bodies of work."

Kirkus, 07/01/2000

Review:

"Though it may feel uncharacteristically straightforward to his American following, NORWEGIAN WOOD bears the unmistakable marks of Murakami's hand....[T]his is no exercise in soft-focus nostalgia, but an urgent attempt to preserve an exquisitely painful time....In some ways, the landscape of NORWEGIAN WOOD is as disconcerting as that of Murakami's weirdest work."

Janice P. Nimura, New York Times Book Review, 09/24/2000
