1Q84: books 1 and 2 by Haruki Murakami

Long. And weird. But better than I expected.

There are of course a lot of impenetrable metaphors, allegories and similes but there is still a surprisingly readable plot (although it gets a bit too existential towards the end) and two well drawn characters which makes this easier to read than other Murakami novels. I did enjoy this a lot more than I was anticipating but it still felt a bit like plowing through an English A level reading list.
