A review by bbrassfield
1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
5.0
I recommend you take a trip to Murakami's Town of Cats.
Merged review:
I've read most of Murakami's novels and after I finish one I'm always left with a sense of awe at the creative powers at work, but never more so than with 1Q84. To say it is Murakami's best novel is of course, to a degree, subjective, but I had the feeling all the way through that this might be his strongest work and by the time the last page had been read, I felt certain of this. To try and summarize would do the novel a disservice as the story literally contains multiverses haha. Suffice it to say if you are a fan of the writer's work, you'll love 1Q84 and if you've never read Murakami before then 1Q84 is a great place to start as I can not imagine him writing a more heartfelt love story than the one he has created around Aomame and Tengo.
