具體描述
“Murakami is like a magician who explains what he’s doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers . . . But while anyone can tell a story that resembles a dream, it's the rare artist, like this one, who can make us feel that we are dreaming it ourselves.” — The New York Times Book Review
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 Haruki Murakami’s most ambitious undertaking yet: an instant best seller in his native Japan, and a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.

##it gets a little odd at times. but if it isn't crazy, it isn't murakami.
評分##Tengo.
評分##The book is so uncomfortably written that it is painful to read. Above everything, it is long, unnecessarily repetitive and unbearably boring. As much as I hate to say this, not a single thing touches me in this book.
評分##三部麯的閱讀馬拉鬆。喜愛其中的人物塑造。但第三本的速速收尾不得不讓人去擔心那些沒有結尾的綫頭。
評分##Tengo.
評分##村上春樹本來就不是什麼大詞匯量的作傢，這本大部分還都是你情我愛，我覺得通讀過一遍後，再看英文版，還是比較好掌握的~美國人容易把1Q84當成日本盜夢空間，其實俺中國有更確切的比喻：牛郎織女。
評分##其實我不太喜歡他的所謂魔幻題材，很多不閤理的情節用這個來解釋。雖然事情發生在城市，題材也不算宏大，但牽扯進來越來越多的人後，結局卻和《飛鳥環形記》一樣又是虎頭蛇尾，little people和一些很重要的人都沒有交代就完瞭，好像作者編著編著纍瞭就草草瞭事一樣。
評分##愛麗絲夢遊仙境抱得郎歸……
評分##一如既往地最愛
