A review by qi_
1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

adventurous challenging dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

5.0

omg get fucked i actually read it. will write a full review later
  • book 1 = a much slower character study and can see that people might stop reading at this point since the plot meanders for while. however, since i enjoy character driven stories i didn't mind. 
  • book 2 = plot picks up but not as fast as i expected. start to uncover the background but still was left unsure of where the plot would go because it was still a little bit stagnent. 
  • book 3 = plot picks up again but it didn't feel rushed and was actually still quite slow and i was approaching the end and was still like so what is gonna happen. it did feel a little repetitive between the perspectives though. 
  • ending = i have so many questions but im not mad about it ?? i would have gladly read another couple hundred pages just to answer the questions. however, i still felt satisfied which is quite weird. 
overall, i enjoy murakami's writing style and the what the fuckery that he brings is here (aND MORE)
