I have mixed feelings about David Mitchell's books. I LOVED Ghostwritten, Cloud Atlas, and The Bone Clocks. But I hated Number9dream. It was all over the place and never really came together. I thought 1000 autumns was ok. I can see how Slade House is a good book, but it was too creepy for my tastes. I have a copy of Utopia Avenue and I'm kind of afraid to start it - not sure if it will be a David Mitchell hit or miss for me.
He's an amazing and imaginative writer though. Even Number9dream had beautiful writing even though I didn't like the story overall.
