A review by maragtzrbooks
number9dream, by David Mitchell
2.0
2/5 stars
I bought this because I already read Cloud Atlas and while a lot of people hated that book because it was confusing and slow, I ended up enjoying a lot, so I thought I get the style of David Mitchell but with this book I realized that I'm not sure about it. I found it very similar to [b:Norwegian Wood|11297|Norwegian Wood|Haruki Murakami|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1386924361s/11297.jpg|2956680] by Murakami and was so much better than this.
The writing was good but I got bored a loooot of the time I was reading this, and I have to confess that I had to skip parts because it was getting so frustrating. Of all the books I had read, this is the first time I skipped something and I felt so bad about it but so good at the same time because I was closer to finish it.
Finally after a lot of time I ended it and didn't get it (because of the skipping I know!)
I have [b:The Bone Clocks|20819685|The Bone Clocks|David Mitchell|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1398205538s/20819685.jpg|26959610] in my bookshelf waiting to be read, I'm giving David Mitchell another shot to win my heart (like he cares...).
In the meantime, I don't recommend this book. Sorry!
