number9dream - David Mitchell This is the only David Mitchell book I've actively disliked. In "Ghostwritten," his trademark successes become flaws: fantasy blurs with reality, but the lines are utterly indistinguishable; long descriptive passages are showy instead of mood-setting; a unique method of storytelling detracts from the plot rather than complimenting it. Mitchell's trying to be Murakami - he should stick to being David Mitchell.
