I've been in awe of David Mitchell's writing since Ghostwritten was first published. I love how each book is connected. However, occasionally, one of his books could stand on its own and not woven within each of the others. This book was just that book. The addition of the fantastical elements took away from an otherwise superbly written story. For that, a great book become lessor than.

Really enjoyed. Probs a 4.5 and only not a 5 because I loved the Bone Clocks a tiny tiny bit more. Took a bit to get going but once it did it was ace. Loved jaspers story- that’s the one that links through to Mitchell’s other work, and didn’t find the celeb cameos that annoying.
