Since I enjoyed books such as Reincarnation Blues by Poore, Ghostwritten and Cloud Atlas by Mitchell, and Life After Life by Atkinson, I thought I'd like this one. While I loved the whole concept, the rambling lack of cohesiveness annoyed me. The whole chapter dedicated to the synopsis of the film Sex, Lies and Videotapes, however, did inspire me to rewatch the movie. So there's that.
