I felt David Moss was the one who got additional footage. elf's role was pretty good and her parts hard hitting.

what was the end of Luisa Rey story arc in CA?

she survives multiple assassination attempts.... and eventually exposes (publishes) the report on that Nuclear power plant citing evidence from Sixsmith's report.

Impersonating as Megan (Sixsmith's niece) - she gets hold of all the letters from Forbisher to Sixsmith

when i moved from 75% to 85%, the fun i was having reading this book kinda exploded in my head.... due to a certain Mr Lucas Marinus.

Couldn't grasp the terminologies - Horology, Atemporal, psychoelectric or psychoesoteric or something.

That's when I looked them up to figure out the connection between Lucas and Esther!!!

Boy oh boy! I wouldn't have picked this had i known all this before. Would have preferred to read The Bone Clocks and Slade House - both of them before picking UA.

at 85%, i'm confident this will be a 5 star read no matter what!

I shapath to pursue Mitchell in chronology, to understand the definitions of his universe, and to prepare myself and be ready before his next book hits the shelf!

That 2114 title - From Me The Time Flows or something - I do get an abstract idea of its theme...

now i also feel the gravity of your words - Mitchell might write another book that connects all the nerve endings of his various works!

Makrand | 1353 comments Wow!! Seeing all these discussions and findings is tempting me too much to start all of David's books in a chronological order.

Such amazing chap !

Yeah, if you're really not occupied, Let's hit it on Feb 1st.

Others too, whoever is interested in Ghostwritten, hope Feb 1st is okay for everyone :D
