Me considero um lifelong learner, que adora livros, principalmente os de ficção científica, fantasia e thrillers. Me interesso por leitura, tecnologia, lean manufacturing e lean IT, data science, plataformas digitais e business development, note taking, gestão do conhecimento, idiomas e seriados de TV. Eu também sou um explorador ocasional de dungeons em roguelikes e motorista de ETS2.

Um livro sensacional. Uma história fluída de ler, instigante, que vai nos deixando curiosos página após página. Conforme lemos, vamos nos compadecendo da personagem Alicia e à medida em que nos aproximamos do final os acontecimentos são completamente inesperados. Ótima leitura. Não conhecia o autor e espero ler outras obras dele.

Review of '1Q84' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Nice trilogy when taking into account the love story between Tengo and Aomame: a love born in their childhood days which resisted time and different worlds.

Even though I liked the wrap up, I felt the books unnecessarily long and composed at times by long boring narrative which made me feel like dropping the book, dragging myself towards the end. No wonder I abandoned this book almost 4 years ago and just picked it again because I challenged myself to finish my TBR list.

As a result, I don’t feel like reading other books by the author.
