The novel is a sub-melodramatic sentimental metafictional love story in a ficticious world with two moons in the sky, a thriller packed with cults, assassinations and grotesque sex (newyorkobserver). The title is a play on the Japanese pronunciation of the year 1984 of George Orwell. The novel was longlisted for the 2011 Man Asian Literary Prize and placed No. 2 in Amazon.com's top books of the year.

Review of '1Q84' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Just finished books 1 & 2, and wow, I think I will have to start book 3 right away.

Particularly loved the "town of cats" story; and the scene towards the end, where Aomame is watching Tengo sitting on the slide in a park in Koenji from her balcony, is so well written, it felt like actually seeing it or being there.
