Reviews
"A novel as accomplished as anything being written."--Newsweek

"Delirious--a grand blur of overwhelming sensation."--Entertainment Weekly

"To call Mitchell's book a simple quest novel . . is like calling Don DeLillo's Underworld the story of a missing baseball."--The New York Times Book Review

"Number9Dream, with its propulsive energy, its Joycean eruption of language and playfulness, represents further confirmation that David Mitchell should be counted among the top young novelists working today."--San Francisco Chronicle

"Mitchell's new novel has been described as a cross between Don DeLillo and William Gibson, and although that's a perfectly serviceable cocktail-party formula, it doesn't do justice to this odd, fitfully compelling work."--The New Yorker

"Leaping with ease from surrealist fables to a teenage coming-of-age story and then spinning back to Yakuza gangster battles and World War II-era kamikaze diaries, Mitchell is an aerial freestyle ski-jumper of fiction. Somehow, after performing feats of literary gymnastics, he manages to stick the landing."--The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
