A review by jammasterjamie
Ghostwritten by David Mitchell

5.0

Solid five stars - Having read a couple of other Mitchell books, I was expecting good things from this as it was his first novel, but oh mama! This one took my expectations and laughed at them in the rearview mirror as it shot right past them! Told through several seemingly loosely connected chapters in the form of short stories, everything comes together in the end to make it a strongly cohesive narrative that ties up all of its loose ends in a wonderfully poetic and spectacular fashion. Mitchell is quickly becoming one of my favourite story-tellers and my only complaint is that I didn't take the time to read him earlier.
