ambrose_7's review against another edition
5.0
To say I like this book would be a TOTAL understatement. This book was crazy enthralling. I knew after 20 pages that is was one of “those books.” I loved every second of it. It has some of the best writing I’ve ever read which kept me completely hooked. The characters weren’t forgettable. The vocabulary was immense but still accessible. I loved the m plot of two evil twins who have all sorts of creative ways of tricking people into there metaphorical spider web and then eating their souls to live forever. Even though it had paranormal stuff which I’m not usually into. This book did it in a way that was believable and not over the top. Being just enough mind breaking to throw you for loops every once in a while. The ending is great, I really think I stumbled across gold.

La disfruté bastante y me gustó mucho el twist que le dio al concepto de la "casa encantada". Me emocionó aprender más de la mitología del mundo de Mitchell (que es probablemente mi mundo literario favorito, ya lo dije). Por último, ese final me dejó super pero SUPER intrigado. Le iba a poner cuatro estrellas pero la verdad creo que se merece las cinco.

Loved it from page one. Mitchell's ability to voice multiple characters is still amazing. It is a stand alone novel, I haven't finished The Bone Clocks yet, but that didn't hamper my enjoyment at all.

genuinely lost interest in the book but the premise was interesting nonetheless

This is an exciting, gripping, and suspenseful. David Mitchell transported me to the edge of my seat and refused to let me go. I really can't recommend this book enough. Seriously, stop reading this review and get the book.

Very nice! I started reading this book because I love his other book, Cloud Atlas. The style is similar in how it spans across different times but it felt a little Stephen King-like too. This book however is like a wonderful little horror movie in my head. So easy to read.

What a book! I would have gave it five stars but I didn't like the ending as much as the first two thirds of the book. It was eerie and creepy and I really loved the twists this book gave. It also reminded me a lot of that doctor who episode blink I was getting those vibes when I was reading it. The weeping angels doing the same sort of thing to people but in this book just a little bit darker.
