Black Swan Green - David Mitchell

This novel was from the author of Cloud Atlas (apparently its one of those must read books- but i ahvent read it).
Anyway.

Well this book isnt what i'd normally read. Its about this teenage guy in a small town in U.K during the Falklands war. This kid has a stutter, and gets beat up alot, although hes secretly a very good poet. I guess, i didnt really relate to this because 1. Im not a 13 year old boy. 2. The writing was very stop and starty- short sentences and changing subject all teh time. 3. It took ages to read because of point 2.

So... probably wouldnt recommend it, but if you liked cloud atlas then maybe you should. Or amybe i should just open my mind?
