A book of two halves for me. Literally. Tengo was such a bore. He had no character or personality. Aomame on the other hand was very interesting. The same thing is told to the multiple times with only a tiny bit of new information added each time. I found this quite frustrating at times. I guess it served to slow down the pace to add tension but I mostly found it annoying. Despite all these nagging points I did finish this because I find the story to be very intriguing. I just hope Tengo finds a personality in the next book.

As much as I enjoy Murakami's writing, sometimes I'd just stop in the middle of the stupidest sentence with so much silly misoginy... I wish he'd stop describing underage girls the way he does, and rather puts that energy into more description of magical realism elements. But overall, although it took me a while, I still liked the flow and the plot, and I'm excited to continue.

It would be useful to have read George Orwell's 1984 prior to reading 1Q84.
