Product Reviews1q84 : A Novel by Haruki Murakami (2011, Hardcover)

Fantastic book, great price and an incredible author.

I purchased the complete book rather than the separate volumes. It is a bit difficult to read comfortably as it's very thick, but the price was good. I have only just started reading it but as usual Murakami reels you in within the first couple of pages. It is so easy to identify with his characters as he creates such warmth and depth in them. I also find his work very humorous and dark. I have read many of his books including his non-fiction efforts. He is one of my favourite authors and I always look forward to his next book.Read full review...

Ugh. What a mess

I did enjoy, somewhat, Murakami's Wind Up Bird Chronicles. So picked this one up.
All I can say is that it lost me after about 50 pages.
Bloated with self-serving, unnecessary details that have no bearing on the plot, such as it is.
I just couldn't get into this overly long word fest.Read full review...

Unusual plot

Totalling different than any ither book I have read. Very long but short chapters make it easier to read.
I loved the plot.

Buy this book it is awesome.

I bought this book because I kept seeing it everywhere and curiosity got to me. I love the characters and the story really draws you in. The pacing is excellent. This is just a really enjoyable read.

Not long enough!

This book, along with Norweigan Wood are my two favorite Murakami books. Many reviewers prefer Wind Up Bird Chronicle or are unhappy with the last 1/3 of this book. I prefer 1Q84, because I found it easier (for some reason) to identify with the protagonists and liked the portrayal of alternate world(s).Read full review...
