A review by foxynz
Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell
4.0
Mitchell once again stands out as a unique writer, with another story that is never quite what you expect. This one started with an irregular beat, with multiple characters and flashbacks making it a little difficult to get into the story. However it soon hit it's stride and from then on I very much enjoyed it.
It appeared that Mitchell had decided to just write an ordinary, straightforward tale, which was mildly disappointing, but then it twisted just enough to give it that quirky flavour that I've come to expect from him.
Cute cameos from famous singers, songs that I wish were real and some stylish writing makes this a great read, although not one that will appeal to the masses.
