1Q84 Book 1 page title

This is the first part out of my three reviews for 1Q84, a novel written by Haruki Murakami. This book is very thick and a lot of things is happening in the story. For you to get not tired reading my post, I'm dividing my review for this book into three parts.

Friendly note: review may contain spoilers. You can skip my opinionated review and just jump to Music & Literature mentioned & featured in 1Q84 or 1Q84 Book Design Review instead.
