Now I definitely want to read Cloud Atlas.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-20514889651364627862008-03-01T02:24:00.000-04:002008-03-01T02:24:00.000-04:00This is one of those books I keep picking up in th...This is one of those books I keep picking up in the bookstore, mulling it over, and inevitably setting it back down again. Your review makes me wish I'd brought it home the last time I saw it.

I feel like I've discovered a new author. I felt like that with Ishiguro, and they feel a little similar. I read on wiki how Mitchell has characters reappear in books. I like that.<BR/><BR/>metro mama - It was fab<BR/><BR/>trish - No, Richard Powers did The Echo Maker, much less interesting to me. Children are so horrible to each other.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-89857244769999839682008-02-29T14:18:00.000-04:002008-02-29T14:18:00.000-04:00His name sounds familiar--did he write Echo Maker?...His name sounds familiar--did he write Echo Maker? I'll have to look it up. Anyway, this sounds good.

That's one of the things I love about David Mitchell, he links his books through all these small details. <BR/><BR/>I hope you read Cloud Atlas and other others - Black Swan Green was good but the others are better, to me David Mitchell is a genius.joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952558113054391317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-73077406217119764062008-02-27T20:18:00.000-04:002008-02-27T20:18:00.000-04:00wendy - thanks.

I can't wait to read another of his books, maybe Cloud Atlas<BR/><BR/>john - I found it mostly funny at first, but then it became more touching. I went back to your review and it was very good. I like how you've linked to other reviews after the fact. <BR/><BR/>I don't feel I did this book justice in my review. Having Jason be a poet made the descriptions so much more lush than a regular old 13 year old - a hairy barbarian.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-76714649134052610392008-02-27T18:52:00.000-04:002008-02-27T18:52:00.000-04:00It took a while, but this one eventually won me ov...It took a while, but this one eventually won me over as well.John Mutfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730205221787092204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-2747176761763577862008-02-27T15:52:00.000-04:002008-02-27T15:52:00.000-04:00Glad to see you liked this one as I did :)And I li...Glad to see you liked this one as I did :)<BR/><BR/>And I like your new "look" too!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.com
