1Q84

★★★★☆ 4/5

An absorbing, unique modern fantasy. I have to agree with those who complain about how it can be repetitive (and its such a long book that any cuts would be welcome). I also wasn't 100% satisfied with the ending--I thought it left some loose ends and unanswered questions. But the positive far outweighs the negative. And maybe the slow paced sections are part of what makes it so special: the reader has to take his time and get lost in the world of 1Q84.
