Interesting plot and beautiful writing at points . 
Stars off are mainly for describing  women, violent sex with women and other weird sex stuff. Also the sheer number of times women’s breasts are described is unreal :(

1Q84 is an upside-down universe that has two moons. And just like any other universe, it has certain people to be removed to the other side. It took 8 months and a week to finish this magical book of Mr. Murakami. Weird characters, unrequited love, an upside-down world of 1984x1Q84, whatever you need in an uncanny plot, you’ll find them here.

Whenever I read a novel by a cis straight man, I am reminded why they shouldn’t write novels from a female character’s perspective.

I don't regret the time in invested in this one (which is more than I can say for SOME 1000+ page books).

One of the reviewers mentioned on the back that the book is "ambitious." I could agree with that. I loved the writing and the plot was interesting, if a little drawn out.
