I love David Mitchell, though the Bone Clocks doesn't come close to Ghostwritten, Cloud Atlas and The thousand autumns for me. I liked it better than Number 9 Dream though.

It just felt a little less focused and the fantasy-elements where a tad too much for my taste. But all in all, Holly, Crispin and Hugo where great characters and the last part was so bittersweet, it gutted me. So all in all still great novel.

Ghostwritten pulled me through a very dark time in my life, I listened to the audiobook every night when I couldn't sleep because my mind was spiraling. When I finished I restarted the next day. So aside from being better in a literary and technical sense in my opinion, Ghostwritten will always hold a very special place in my heart.

Ghostwritten has also accompanied me during some very very rough/shit times. I'm glad it provided you with a sense of comfort as well.

My favourite chapter (at the moment) is probably the Moscow one. Not sure why though. I also love the Tokyo one and the mountain one. And all of them! Haha I can't pick :)
