La trilogia inizia bene per poi scivolare nella noia di un libro che non vedi l'ora di finire sperando in un colpo di scena che alla fine... non arriva affatto.

mesmerising and captivating

This book is absolutely wonderful. I have read reviews saying that this book is not a good place to start for those, like me, who have not read any of Murakami's earlier work. Then i was given this as a Christmas present - and what a present!
Since starting this 4 days ago I have found myself thinking about it whilst doing something else, rushing home from work to read more, staying up late to find to find out what would happen next...and now it's finished and I am going straight into starting book 3. I feel sympathy for the Japanese readers who had to wait a year for that.
But this is not a page turning thriller which hurtles along through the pace of events. It is much more like a beautiful water color painting, starting in its creation with light colors, then the darker colors going on, then the little highlights, as the picture emerges in all its mesmerising and distinctive beauty. Murakami waves a magic which draws you in and holds onto you.
There is a fascinating plot line, following the lives of the main characters Aomame and Tengo, in alternate chapters. At first their lives seem utterly separate, but gradually the links between them become clearer and ever more compelling, whilst the nature of their work becomes a little stranger.
Judging by some other reviews i have read, this book is not for everyone, but if you like Ian McEwan or Kazuo Ishiguro you will probably love this - but it is unique, and all the better for that.
Highly recommended

Caught once again by the world of fiction

1Q84 is a long story, but I never felt the storyline was coming to a halt or becoming boring. The plot flows naturally, and every little part of the story carries meaning. Some people have said that too many questions are left unanswered, but I wouldn't agree with that. Rather, leaving some open ends might be a conscious strategy to leave a certain impression on the reader. The world of 1Q84 cannot be fully understood - but maybe that's a quality inherent to the fantastical world that 1Q84 is.
Murakami creates a rich world with detailed characters. Sometimes I felt the characters were a little too smart or too good at what they were doing, but that doesn't impact the work negatively. This story is not intended to be realistic, even though many elements of it certainly are real. At times I wondered if it was really necessary to describe the darker parts of the story so completely, almost ruthlessly. A decent amount of research must have been made in order to make this work come alive. Parts of this research, I guess, might not have been pleasant to carry out.
1Q84 is abundant with references to classical literature and music - maybe too much so. If you like learning about that kind of thing, however, it's a good thing. It may sound exaggerated, but I do think I learnt a lot from reading this work. It explores a variety of themes, and although the answers are rarely clear it helps one to gain a better perspective on many issues. As surrealistic as 1Q84 is, it treats real issues at length. Be it loneliness, revenge or belief.
As a reader, I haven't read much fiction lately, and that probably affects how I relate this work to other works.

Dense, Complex and Fascinating

The more I read of this the more I loved it. 1Q84 is a challenging read, but once I got going I worked straight through both books. The most frustrating matter upon completion was that the final book in the series was not available on Kindle.
1Q84 has been widely reviewed and lauded, so I won't repeat the words of many. I will say that I think you would have to have an inclination for fantasy and a visual mind to enjoy this very contemporary work of imagination.
