Book Overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "A tremendous accomplishment. It does every last blessed thing a masterpiece is supposed to--and a few things we never even knew to expect."--San Francisco Chronicle

"Brilliant . . . an irresistibly engaging literary fantasy."--The Washington Post

A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century

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 realizes, 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 a striking feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.

This book is Murakami’s masterpiece. I loved every page of it.

Great Novel

Amazing novel you should read it:)

IQ84 left me feeling cheated.

I started the book with great anticipation. I love a book that you can really get lost in. It was an engrossing tale. But after 900+ pages, I was sitting there flummoxed. Characters, who were important to the plot, were just dropped. Too many story lines left hanging. 🤔

Fantastic -zzz

It is a nice book!!
