1Q84 : libro 3

1Q84 is a hard book to describe. Certainly not something I’d recommend to good, God-loving christians. It’s immensely gripping, deranged and (of course) amazingly profound. I should probably also warn you that it tests your patience, your willingness to see things from another perspective and the limits of whats morally acceptable. But you’ll just have to see for yourself...

This was my first Murakami. I was surprised how good he writes, how he moves the story forward, sometimes skipping parts to make it faster (like when one charakter starts to write a book, and then he skipps the middle of it and the story continues at the point when he has done the job), the strangeness. Reading IQ, you are left with unanswered question, not sure what to think about what is happening. But it is a captivating experience. Not suitable for uptight people (though you don't need to take everything serious here).

This is an adapted (shorter) version édited for the American reader. I did not know it when I bought it.
