Title: A lovely surprise and a real treat to read
Review: I picked up this book in charity shop for the princely sum of a 1 expecting it to be a flakey summer holiday type read, which I could enjoy without having to use any of my brain's synapses. I wasn't entirely sure I understood where it was coming from for the first 20 pages or so, but stuck with it as the writing style is good and I have to say the more I read the more I was pleasently surprised. This is my first encounter with David Mitchell and I will be trying his other books in the future. I won't go into the detail as other people have done this for me but this is a book with real content and substance without being too obvious. It is well worth reading and committing the time to. The only bit which annoyed me slightly was the post-apocalyptic story and that's purely because the use of language took a little bit of getting used to, it was still worth sticking with and I would recommend it in an instant.
