A Review of David Mitchell's Number9dream: "A Hypnotizing Read"

by   freelancer1 ,  Apr 23, 2002

Cons: Confusing in parts, but that just adds to the enjoyment.
The Bottom Line: Read it, read it! David Mitchell's Number9dream was nominated for the prestigious Booker prize in the UK and it was an injustice that it didn't win.
Review: I bought David Mitchell's Number9dream from Amazon.com after someone phoned me and said, sounding out of breath, "You've GOT to read this book!", then hung up. I didn't know which book he meant, so I took it as an excuse to buy this one...

Pros: Trippy dreamlike quality, compelling story. Pure escapism.
Cons: If’ya don’t like creative use of language-the first 100-pages will seem like a bad acidtrip.

Review: The Story: The book begins with a nervous 20-something Japanese man sitting in a coffee shop contemplating the colossal building that he has been staring at for who knows how long. This is Eiji Miyake, and the book is mostly about his coming of age ...
