Best Microscope For Pathologist

Tokio Blues (Norwegian Wood) by Haruki Murakami

I've finished Tokyo Blues. I read slowly, savoring it. He caught me early and I loved it. It's the first thing I read Murakami , so I can not compare, but in my opinion, this time round he got a book. It can be very distressing, is a perfect portrait of loneliness, but loneliness inside of that emptiness we all feel in some time, however we are surrounded by people.

elapses in the late 60's and the protagonist is Toru Watanabe, a boy of seventeen. At that age, something happens that will change your life forever: Kizuki, his best friend commits suicide. Soon, Watanabe leaves his village and goes to Tokyo to study at university. He moved to live in a dormitory where he meets the most colorful characters. In Tokyo he meets with Naoko, the girlfriend who Kazuki who, like him, has also moved to Tokyo to study and try to get on with your life. Both start a friendship rather deep which could well go further, but Naoko is a fragile and mentally unstable after a while decide internal voluntary in a mental hospital. Midori Watanabe Kobayashi known then, a classmate pretty outgoing and make friends. The novel takes place between the experiences with Midori Watanabe, Naoko visits to the hospital and its lively nightlife in search of women, something that left vents but very empty, he can not extricate Naoko head.

here I think I can count and I did everything very superficial. Nor is it easy to describe the plot of this novel because it is something that is flowing just as you read, all full of feelings and confusion of Watanabe, who feels increasingly helpless as you go adolescence and leaving behind discovering the death, love and sex. The truth is that it is difficult not to identify with this character at some points Tokyo Blues. It is a very sad book, as I said at first it may be bleak, but I really liked. I know it has generated among those who have read very different opinions and I'd like ye should say what you liked and did not like this book. Meanwhile, make a recommendation for someone who does not know or have not read and I stand by this statement, with this reflection Watanabe:

"Death is not opposed to life, death is included in our lives. "
