1Q84, Book 1

This is my first Haruki Murakami novel that I've read. I have to say that I was totally drawn in by the well crafted characters and the lives they lead. It left me wondering what is real,what is not and contemplating the power of the human element. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is willing to try something a little different. I will most definitely be reading more of Murakami.
