It was an interesting read in the way David Mitchell laid it out. Unfortunately, it simply did not hold onto my interest all the way through.
Recurring theme: Reincarnation and the concept that people step in and out of your life for a reason.
It might make for a good Philosophy Class discussion: What are morals? What are ethics? Continual debate on Locke's theories and etc.
Last thought: Not huge on originality. For example, when you get to the section on the Sonmi think of the movie "The Island" with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson or "Never Let Me Go" with Kiera Knightley to be more precise. Another example, human progress reaches a pinnacle and practically starts all over again - similar to Oswell's "Time Machine."
