A phenomenal read, I was thoroughly hooked into this book from 1849 to 2346. I haven’t read anything quite like this; in the hands of a less talented writer, structurally, it could have been a bit gimmicky. However; Mitchell is talented provide one compelling story after another. Initially I worried that The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing and Sloosha’s Crossin’ an’ Evrythin’ After were going to drag because of the verbosity or eccentricity (respectively) of the language but after a few pages I was engrossed in both.
