A review by kellemcsweeney
Ghostwritten by David Mitchell

Did not finish book. Stopped at 47%.

Pretentious, and not compelling writing or characters. I've lived in Japan for 18 years, and visited the other countries he's mentioned, and he's captured it very much as an outsider/gaijin trying to sound cool about exotic locales and cultures. I gave it 200 pages... and that was enough. And I often read 1000 page books. I knew if it wasn't capturing me by then, it was too late. I cut my losses
