1Q84

Wondering if anyone has read this yet and what their thoughts are?

Currently reading* this and about 10 chapters in and finding it quite hard going, it's very well written and brilliantly descriptive but as a result it moves very slowly. I had a similar problem initially with the Steig Larsson Millenium trilogy but once the story got going they were really enjoyable, wondering if 1Q84 is the same?

EDIT:
I wouldn't recommend searching for reviews, just had a quick look and most of them contain information that whilst not a spoiler as such IMO will lessen your enjoyment of the first few chapters.

* Joys of modern tech, combination of good old fashioned hardback, Kindle & Audiobook on tablet/phone.
