Love.

The first word when I read 1Q84 was about love. It may seem cliche but, this part made me understand how it feels to be Aomame and Tengo. They both have the same feelings and are involved with each other. It turns out, having selfless love without having each other is a hard thing to go through.

This has entered the second chapter of the 1Q84 trilogy, but, everything feels very slow. I don't know whether it's because I'm reading slowly because I'm busy or the story is really slow. But what is clear, there is a little boredom when I read this second part in the first 100 pages.

There are many stories that repeat the point and view of Aomame and Tengo. This is what makes me a little bored, like throwing away a lot of words to make this novel seem thick. In fact, I started reading very fast and skipping a few pages to make myself a little more comfortable. Even though it feels too vulgar for a novel like this which is mostly about sexual relationships that are built into a slightly disgusting story for me,

In this second chapter, there are some secrets revealed about how Aomame and Tengo really are, especially related to the 'little people' who are a problem in this novel. because this is the second chapter and the problem starts to appear, as a result I continue to hone several pages to understand the exact meaning behind the story of Aomame and Tengo's past.

Have you ever felt annoyed? Well, in this part I felt very annoyed because I had started. Murakami's work can indeed be called a masterpiece because it has shaken my feelings. Especially related to how stupid Tengo and Aomame are for not looking for each other and expressing their feelings. There are things that bother me that really want to speed up page after page to speed up the meeting between Aomame and Tengo after more than 20 years of not meeting and expressing their feelings. But what a shame, the problems that befell them made the two of them unable to meet even though Aomame found Tengo in a small garden from the balcony where Aomame was hiding.

Increasingly curious about the 1Q84 world they live in with 2 moons side by side. Is it actually real or not? Or is this all just their own trick in their own minds? Especially related to a group called 'little people', are they actually the masterminds and the common thread between Aomame and Tengo's lives at this time?

There are so many unanswered questions in my mind about the two of them. I already want to continue to the next part. Are you the same as me? Curious about the story of Aomame and Tengo at the end of the story?


See you the next time hive friends!

Hmm. First time coming across this book and what a peculiar nam it has

I'm also a bit confused with some of the storyline, but maybe because there's still 1 more chapter to finish.

I am so so curious about the next chapter and what follows next. Hoping you will share it with us

Oh, so this is a romance novel? I thought it is a self improvement novel. Okay nice review @aswita

Scientific with romance 🤣

How was it, like Supernova?

There's a thing about books and movies alike not to have a second part. Somehow, the second parts fail to do the justice the first part did and that, in itself, is a reason to make the reader bored. Generally, the book does look insightful and I'll be glad to read it.

Lovely review, by the way.🌺

I'm curious about the premise of this book. Thank you so much for recommending it. I will look for it so I can read it. Cheers!✨
