This book was in the back row of one of my double-stacked book shelves. Out of sight, out of mind. I forgot I’d bought it some time ago (and paid extra for the prettiest cover), which is unfortunate, because Slade House would have made SO MUCH MORE SENSE from the start if I had read The Bone Clocks ...
"The Bone Clocks" is the first book I've ever simultaneously loved and hated. At least five times during the course of my reading, it switched from a hard 2.0 rating to an impressive 4.5; in the end, I'm settling for a 3.0. In all three categories I'd use to assess a book - original concepts, charac...
This is a gimmick book, which in itself isn't a bad thing if there's a good story in there. Maybe there was a such thing in this, but unfortunately for me all that was buried under heaps of problems. The first ninety pages were a positive surprise. A man writing a fifteen-year-old girl in first pe...
DNF at 33%, right after Hugo’s chapter. Many of my friends loved or at least liked this book. I just thought it was dull. In case you’re unaware, this book consists of a set of six novellas, loosely connected, all written in the present tense and first person by different POV characters. I got th...
I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with this novel especially after all the positive reviews I've heard about both Cloud Atlas and David Mitchell as an author. I'm wondering if perhaps I picked the wrong book by Mitchell to read first, or if I would have been just as disappointed no matter wha...
Had that thought when your driving and your gps loses its signal and it appears your car is flying through the city, "Where the hell is this going?!?!" And at the end I still didn't know...
Reading David Mitchell’s Slade House a couple months ago sent me back to the library to find a copy of The Bone Clocks to learn more about the strange world of the Deep Stream and the Shaded Way and people who leapfrog through time. Unfortunately, reading The Bone Clocks was a long exercise in frust...
29/8 - The Bone Clocks didn't grab me to begin with, it took until page eight when Jacko went all spooky and prescient (coincidentally I'd just finished watching the Kubrick Shining, so weird little boys were already on my mind as an attractive plot device). I sped through the next 300 pages in less...
I tried to read this, I really did. I had it on audio as an unabridged Audible book and I abandon audio books even more rarely than e/paper books. I managed 72%, which is pretty good going for a book that (in my opinion), just got worse and worse. It started well, I was totally involved with Holly...
