1Q84: Book Three by Haruki Murakami

There is something very memorable about this story, and the characters in it, so I wanted to finish the trilogy even though I have no idea what this book is really about.  Don't expect to get to the end and go "of course".  This novel could benefit from a Poirot style final explanation in a handy appendix.  But whilst the sub-plot is largely incomprehensible, I enjoyed the superficial surface story about a young couple and their search to find each other in the face of ...........er........in the face of...um.... some sort of jolly troubling adversity.  If you are cleverer than me you will appreciate the hidden depths and perhaps fully understand the nature of that adversity but if not this is still an engaging, enjoyable (but long) read.
