1Q84 - Livro 1

This book was wild. The writing was enigmatic. The storyline was excellent until the climax/denouement. Also, I can't help but struggle (probably on a cultural level) at the reactions of certain characters to their circumstances. Nobody every got irate when I thought they should have. In fact, most “setbacks” or mere inconveniences were handled with a quiet stoicism that I felt was unlikely to be universal across all characters; though it was so in this story. Nobody is that accepting of their circumstances, even (or especially) when they have no control.
