To help you find your... To see what your friends thought of this book, Ichi-kyū-hachi-yon = 1Q84 Book 2 (1Q84, #2), Haruki Murakami, In the second book the mystery becomes more ... mysterious. Since it’s lacking substance I might skip it for now. i never said this in the spoiler free section but i gave this 5/5stars i loved it! It covers a fictionalized year of 1984 in parallel with a "real" one.

By default, reader, I, in this case, am interested in them because I can relate myself to these fiction but equally real characters. I'M STILL RECOVERING FROM IT, ALRIGHT?! 5 star 56% 4 star 18% 3 star 12% 2 star 7% 1 star 7% 1Q84. And unlike a fantasy or sci-fi where the pages are required for filling out an incredible world/setting, this world is pretty mundane Japan. ☺️, Yes, that is how it goes, I believe that is true! Sex is obviously a recurrent theme and Murakami does not leave any lustful fantasies untold. Thus, we read about people having “lovely swells of chests” and “generous breasts” [Murakami/Rubin, 2009: 1095], as well as such sentences as “She looked young and healthy. 2,248 global ratings | 1,798 global reviews, Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2018.
Characters will reiterate the same information so much in the same conversation that it reminds me of college essays rewriting the same sentences over and over to reach a page limit. That is one of greatest pet peeves!
Haruki Murakami did an interesting job with this story, one much more complex than his normal work, and strangely enough, it works as well or better in the Knopf hardback American English translation as it does in Japanese. The only way Murakami knows how to drive his plot forward is to have people disappear in his story. Two moons in the sky, vague and sporadic references about the workings of maza and dohta and three or four paragraphs of the Little People making something are not what I would consider the paragon of vivid imagination and unique worlds. Published: 18 Oct 2011 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami - review. Formulaic is an excellent word to describe both of these authors’ works – King and Murakami’s. Just complex enough that most understand but that some are baffled. I realise my opinion is very unpopular and I hope to come back with a positive review of Murakami next time! Second books are also the strongest in the means of flow because this is where reader is being prepared for anything that is going to happen in the final book. I do not mean this judgmentally -- for example, Lord of the Rings did not click for me and I sense that author created a world I just cannot open myself up to for some reason. It is a fantasy book, the story it is telling is a fantasy but nothing will surprise you in the book. The answer is – absolutely not, especially regarding Tengo. 1Q84 is presented as a whimsical romance epic with elements of magical realism, and, in its proportion, has been linked to such extremely ambitious works as Roberto Bolano’s 2666 and Don DeLillo’s Underworld.
