Number9dream by David Mitchell
2.0
2 stars - Meh. Just ok.
I’ve read the two most recent works by David Mitchell and think they are both amazing. Then I read somewhere that it is best to read his novels in order as some characters make cameos in later novels.
I have now also read his first two books and both were a bit lackluster. This one, in particular, was disappointing. If you are new to this author, I highly suggest starting with his most recent novels.
I expect and look forward to weirdness when I pick up a Mitchell novel, but this one was just too much.

Favorite Quote: Dreams are shores where the ocean of spirit meets the land of matter. Dreams are beaches where the yet-to-be, the once-were, the will-never-be may walk awhile with the still are.
First Sentence: We are both busy people, so let’s cut the small talk.
