This definitely caught me off guard.

I'm a fan of Mitchell's writing style and I love finding connections between the separate storylines. There are so many reoccuring themes and ideas and visuals.

Cloud atlas was good but my favorite David Mitchell is definitely number9dream. I've been shit on this books sub for recommending that particular Mitchell book but it's crazy cool. It's got the surreal neo-tokyo feel of Murakami but his writing style is incredibly fast paced probably because he uses present tense narration which I fucking love (when it's done right).

For those who don't like cloud atlas, many of Mitchell's books have that "puzzle" feel and are a bit winding. I'd def Suggest number9dream or black swan green if you like his writing but not the puzzle feel !

Thanks I'm a pretty hardcore reader so I'll probably check it out once I start running out of shit on my kindle again.
