I do enjoy a Good David Mitchell and the world he has built within our own.

This book tells the story of Slade House and it's occupants. Every nine years someone is drawn to the house and something terrible happens to them. The book is told in the first person by one of these characters every nine years and as always David brings these people to life from the first paragraph. He remains the best author I have read to date in his characterisations.

Not to give away any of the plot a reader should know that the world in this novella is that of the Bone Clocks. I am not sure how it would read as a stand-alone? I would be interested if anyone has read it before the Bone Clocks how they felt about it?
