All I can say is wow...I am quite simply blown away by this book, the interconnected stories, and the book‘s message. I can’t quite compare it to anything else I’ve read, and I’m glad. Loved it, and will continue to love it.

I started reading this a couple of years ago and remember putting it down, unable to finish. I managed to reread and complete reading it this year. It wasn't the book... perhaps it wasn't meant to be read then. Or perhaps, it just wasn't my cup of tea. The intricacies and the uniquely shaped story-line require you to be engrossed within the world that's created. However, that wasn't the case for me as I didn't find myself engrossed enough for the pages to turn themselves. I appreciated the thought-process put into creating this book. All the shorter stories each had their own stylistic approach which was interesting, given that it was written by the same author, within the same book. Traveling through time, the interlocking lives... I found it to be a pretty unique concept.

AMAZING book! Uniquely and wonderfully constructed story. I loved the way Mitchell wove forward and then backward through time, connecting stories in subtle but crucial ways.

I'm a bit of a structure slut and this book was right up my alley. It's an onion of good storytelling, a Russian nesting doll of sci-fi, adventure, and humanity. I liked it.
