The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.

A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realises, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 - 'Q' is for 'question mark'. A world that bears a question.

Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that, soon, his previously placid life begins to come unraveled.

As Aomame's and Tengo's narratives converge over the course of this single year, we learn of the profound and tangled connections that bind them ever closer: a beautiful, dyslexic teenage girl with a unique vision; a mysterious religious cult that instigated a shoot-out with the metropolitan police; a reclusive, wealthy dowager who runs a shelter for abused women; a hideously ugly private investigator; a mild-mannered yet ruthlessly efficient bodyguard; and a peculiarly insistent television-fee collector.

A love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell's, 1Q84 is Haruki Murakami's most ambitious undertaking yet: an instant best seller in his native Japan, and a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"It is a work of maddening brilliance and gripping originality, deceptively casual in style...vibrating with wit, intellect and ambition." ( The Times)
"Eerie, suspenseful and packed full of gorgeous ordinary details and provocative extraordinary events...funny, fresh and intensely surreal. Unmissable." ( Marie Claire)

This is my first Murakami's novel and I still can't say whether I like it or not. I like the fantasy and surreal elements but I don't appreciate the obsession with underage girls in the story. The narration is rather dry, and not because of the narrators but because of the narration itself. It might be a case of translation work but I don't read Japanese so I wouldn't know. There are a lot of repeated bits, as if the reader has the shortest memory.

The two male narrators are great, and it is unfortunate that Allison Hiroto who voiced Aomame isn't as good as the other two narrators. Her intonation doesn't really reflect the emotions of the narrative. Her dialogues are marginally better, but I breathe a sigh of relief when it's Tengo's chapter and I don't have to listen to Aomame's bit for a while.

I won't say this is a terrible book but I would caution anyone who's relatively new to Murakami. Maybe this isn't the best book to start with.

A strange tale

In general it’s a great story but wow, just wow it’s overly long. And repetitive. If all of the repeated conversation and the ‘he echoed’ and the ‘she said again’ and the recaps and the retelling of the same part of the story in a different voice were taken out, this may be just a long book rather than a book you get so much relief from actually finishing having made yourself stick it out. 46 hours for a story line that could be explained in approximately 5 sentences. The descriptions are beautifully rich, in my mind (and I am no expert) the awful length appears to be down to poor editing. Which is amusing when you think about the people in the story. Anyway. Having just finished it I’m feeling particularly proud of myself. I think Kafka on the Shore is a better book.

Far too long. Read if you are stuck in a hospital bed for a few weeks.

I am a fan of Murakami but, after grinding my way through this, I felt like I had wasted 48 hours of my life.

Would be overly long at half the length

Two people get thrown into a fantastical world set in Tokyo of 1984. Pitched against a shadowy cult headed by the mysterious "Leader". Their destinies are entwined and through a labyrinthine series of events they struggle to attain their goal.

A fantastic novel. It gripped me right to the end.

The narrators’ performances were amazing. It’s a pity about the story. Of about the eight Murakami novels I have read, this was the most cringe worthy. The sexual depictions of young female characters and indeed of the sex scenes in general were just dreadful.

Cringe-worthy rather than binge-worthy
