1Q84

Not the best Murakami but I am glad I've read it. Enjoyed the first two parts but the third one could have been significantly shorter in my opinion. Overall this a very slow paste book with surreal elements / magical realism. If you like Murakami you will enjoy this one.

I'm surprised that the book managed to keep me on my toes for more than 1000 pages. The story was told in a deliciously slow way, but it wasn't boring at all. A few questions were left open for interpretation (which left me personally a little unsatisfied). Although I disliked the author's obsession with boobs and the inclusion of child abuse, this book was overall a positive experience for me.

Ständige Wiederholungen des gerade erst erlebten. Dadurch wird gefühlt nur künstliche Länge erzeugt. Die paar Storysachen, die dann endlich passieren, sind aber zumindest gut genug für 3 Sterne.
