This is the style of David Mitchell's writing that I enjoy. I liked how the sections were broken up and it was almost like a bunch of short stories all tied together. Plus the whole concept was interesting as well.

A story about a strange house and its even stranger inhabitants. Best to go in without knowing too much about it, though it isn't hard to figure out after the first section. Didn't necessarily enjoy it as much as I'd hoped; something about Mitchell's writing feels excessively mean-spirited in a way that I find off-putting. The ending also felt a little cheap, as the entire plot and its resolution hinged on what was essentially a villain monologue.

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.
