tdeshler 's review for:

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
3.0

I really wanted to like this book, given the good reviews, but it never really clicked into gear for me. His powers of description and characterization are great, but the plot felt pretty thin for a 900+ page book. The supernatural bits were a little strange and never seemed to be integrated into the rest of the story. In the end, it boiled down to a simple love story, but it took forever to get there.
