At one point, we start wondering what exactly is real and that, I feel, is the beauty of this book. The way in which the subplots are connected and the timing at which the chages in the storyline is introduced is impeccable. As usual Murakami works his magic and makes up a brilliant world and Jay Rubin has done a great job in translating this masterpiece. It's definitely not something that you read about everyday. I deeply enjoyed reading about the characters and their lives. They are unknowingly in charge of each other's life. Tengo is asked to edit a novel written by an unusual seventeen year old with powers and Aomame is asked to take up a dengrous mission to assasinate a cult leader. This world has two moonsand reality is warped. The story takes place in 1Q84, a parallel world existing in the year 1984. There is a deep connection existing between this unlikely pair, which is explored as the plot goes on. The book tells the story of mainly two people Tengo, a cram school teacher and passionate amateur author and Aomame, a cold blooded assassin. Reading this book was definitely an adventure that I wasn't expecting but definitely enjoyed being on. I read it in April but I wanted to review it again. 1Q84 Trilogy by Haruki Murakami is one of my all time favourite books.
