3.5 stars because this book was a 5 at times and a 2 at others. The gimmick of the book did not work for me and severely detracted from the storytelling, which was generally excellent with occasional patches of insufferably boring long-windedness. I would have preferred to read 5? separate novels rather than their haphazard entanglement in one piece. Still, the author's ability to build so many realized worlds and characters is impressive.

Finally finished this after seven months. I hadn't read a book in quite awhile due to chronic illness making it very hard to read especially for extended periods of time. But I wanted a challenge and I got one.
What a challenging non linear but wonderfully written. Each of the six sections felt distinct and although it started slow for me, I appreciated what Mitchell was doing. Not convinced it was entirely successful but I still enjoyed my time with it. May my next book not take so long to finish.

I just cannot with the writing style. It is so pretentious and the story and characters aren't even fun. For bookclub I want to finish this though... So I'm going to get it as an audiobook and see if the narrations can save this for me at all.
