Title: Superb virtuoso storytelling
Review: David Mitchells book is a literary Palindrome, the first half a mirror image of the second half. That, in and of itself is not intersting, but it is the means of weaving six stories spread across about 400 years of past, present and future that make the book so enthralling. Strong visual language and riveting action sequences are dovetailed with ruminations on mortality, reincarnation, deja-vu, morality,creation and redemption. There is no bigger palatte. Although some of the juxtapositions between stories are a bit sudden and contrived, the overall effect is shimmering, thought provoking and haunting. Highly recommended.
