Mitchell will cross-reference some other book with a mention of something (it's a little like watching a Hitchcock movie to see in which three frames The Master will appear!), but it's no more than that... Even considering 'Ghostwritten' (agreeing with somebody else) as his 'weakest' book, it's amazingly good compared with other authors' 'weakest books.' Just take the plunge, as somebody else suggested.... Mitchell is the most consistently good and entertaining author that I have read in the last 15 years...(less)
