Still excellent - I don't like it as much as Bone Clocks but I love the interlinking of the stories. Its a bleak future though, don't read it when you are miserable.

"And only as you gasp your dying breath shall you understand, your life amounted to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean!
Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?"

Well three attempts and three different formats later, it's finally done ... Jury's still out on whether it was worth all the hassle. It was ok but it didn't grab me. Also stuck between whether it was  clever or just pretentious (or possibly both).

I should have read this before seeing the film. Working on a post about adaptations for Bookshelf Bombshells.

Great book! Each of the six stories were as if they really were written by separate authors, which just shows David Mitchell's talent with language.
