1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
3.0

I am a huge fan of Murakami. I love his writing, his storytelling, and the kinds of stories he tells.

I think it's because of that that I finished this book. I enjoyed it, certainly. I was affected by the characters and their story. But it was long, and a little laborious in places. I would still say his masterpiece is The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, even though this one seems like he wants it to be.

Start with A Wild Sheep Chase or The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle if you want to test your interest in Murakami on a shorter, more accessible book than this one.
