It was an enjoyable book, but I am torn as to how to rate it. Not to mention, critical praise decorated the cover and the beginning inside pages of 1Q84, assuring me that experts of literature had a fulfilling experience with the novel, and I certainly would too. I devoured The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and yearned for more, and the prospect of 1157 more pages seemed absolutely delightful. I was enchanted by Murakami’s elegant prose. Let’s just say, I own War and Peace, but I have yet to pick it up.īut, contrary to my nature, I had absolutely no reservations about 1Q84, and enthusiastically bought the 1157-page beast of a novel after having just finished Murakami’s The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. If a book exceeds that limit, it takes a little more procrastination and a lot more hemming and hawing over whether the novel is worth the effort. 800 pages is my mental limit for carelessly picking up a book and diving in.
