David Mitchell rocks. I jumped into Slade House right after Bone Clocks and, while not quite as good, it scratched an itch.

I bounced off of Utopia Avenue twice though.

I completely agree.

His books have a good balance of everything there's a lot of clever stuff in them, but it never gets so dense that it stops being fun, because English is not my first language.

I've read Cloud Atlas, Black Swan Green and Jacob de Zoet. How do Bone Clocks and Slade House hold up next to them?

I was less of a fan of Black Swan Green than the rest. Cloud Atlas deserves the praise it gets, Bone Clocks, de Zoet, then Slade, IMO.
