A review by lindsaymae14
Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell

3.0

This book was okay, it was entertaining enough to finish. 3.5/5

Things I liked: The general setting- I love 1960's music and pop culture. To see it through a British lens this time was nice. I also really enjoyed Jasper's storyline.

Things I didn't like: The way character perspectives are divided up amongst the chapters. (some folks only get one chapter, and that kinda sucks.) The cliché and predictable moments in the story. Each character's story line has its own way-too-easy to see coming parts that took some of the fun out of reading it. I also don't like the way a female character thought of women she was interested in. As a bi woman myself, I thought it just didn't feel how it should have.

Things I both liked and didn't like: the appearances of rockstars of the era. I'm a hug fan of both Jimi and Janis and they both appear in this book but most rockstar interactions are very cheesy.
