I think if you go word it like that, you’re risking being misunderstood or getting your readers lost on it, as in 3).
To help a reader out of it I’d suggest:
3) He wrote a book your review of which made [it = book] popular. OR: He wrote a book your review of which [became] popular.
2) Not sure of that one. How about ‘analogues’ (applied to analogous parts or organs in biology) instead of ‘counterparts’?
I’d set off that part: “The incidents my description of which aroused your interest[,]…” with a comma—for more clarity and a pause too.
