Mi primera experiencia con el autor

Muy recomendable. La forma en que está escrito te atrapa, y el final es catártico.

Norra mets
Haruki Murakami ühe tuntuima teose pealkiri „Norra mets” on pärit biitlite laulust, mille kuulmine toob raamatu minategelasele Watanabele meelde tema esimese armastatu Naoko, tema parima sõbra kallima. Watanabe kandub mõtetes tagasi kahekümne aasta tagusesse aega, mil ta oli üliõpilane Tokyos. Murakami on suurepärane õhustiku looja, tema kummalised tegelaskujud saavad sümboolse tähenduse, pannes lugeja samal ajal neile sügavalt kaasa elama.1949. aastal sündinud HaKordustrükk.ruki Murakami teosed on muutunud maailmas üsna eripäraseks kirjandusnähtuseks. Kõik tema raamatud tõlgitakse kohe pärast ilmumist suurematesse keeltesse ning neid müüakse hämmastavates tiraažides.

Review of 'Tokio blues' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book is lovely. So well-written. The characters are so well-made. Every word fits and every character has its purpose. Nothing is over-made.
Toru is a beautiful character. He is very strange and he doesn't feel the need to relate with people, which makes him relatable at some point in my opinion. Due to this, the few people he has contact with are very special for him and they are all unique and very unusual. Toru suffers throughout the whole book, for things that completely understandable and in times we all feel sad for him.
Naoko -his death friend's girlfriend- is a very sad character. She's depressed till the point of no return, but she has moments in which she can still enjoy life. Even so, she's death weight for Toru, who is hooked up by her, and she only makes him feel worried and confused.

Naoko -his death friend's girlfriend- is a very sad character. She's depressed till the point of no return, but she has moments in which she can still enjoy life. Even so, she's death weight for Toru, who is hooked up by her, and she only makes him feel worried and confused.
In the other hand, Midori -a girl he meets at university- is very cheerful character that makes Toru feel happy. She's brave, she is not afraid to speak her mind, she does what she wants, and she lives freely and careless. She's amazing. She's a character to learn from.
Nagasawa -a friend from university- is really peculiar guy. He is really smart, yet he doesn't care too much about anything. He doesn't feel excited about life, but he enjoys it all the same. Toru learns a lot from him.
And Reiko -Naoko's friend- is really entertaining character, who has suffer a lot yet sees the beauty of life everyday.
All in all, the book is perfect. I can't wait to read another Murakami's book.
