“Ghostwritten” by David Mitchell

 This is my least favourite of the books I have read by Mitchell. It is overly long, overly wordy, and confusing. It may have helped a bit if I had read the electronic version, because that would have enabled me to hyperlink back to characters who appeared in different “stories” within the novel. I think everything was cleverly linked together, but I eventually lost interest. I skimmed over the last section, which involved a NY DJ, and perhaps I missed a bit of the novel’s structure and meaning because of it. But I don’t really care. That last section was too abstract.
