A review by halliechanan
Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell

5.0

i am quite literally speechless. the love utopia avenue had for eachother, and the passion they had for music is just incredible. david mitchell’s writing is so beautiful and it honestly made a fake band come to life, while including real artists such as david bowie, The Who, The Beatles, etc. to truly drive the story. this book truly felt like a transportation into the 60s like nothing ever before. i can’t even describe the way this book made me feel, all i can say is READ IT. also, the way this book is structured is actually genius. each time period has an album, and in each album there are songs each written by a specific band member and each chapter is from a different person’s perspective. did i explain that right idek? anyways. i wasn’t going to rate this 5 stars as the beginning felt kind of long, but it gets so good, and it was completely different from every book ive ever read. the connections you feel with the characters is insane, and their stories are incredibly moving.
