Awesome book. I loved it

Another unforgettable and beautiful story by the author. I loved how the book ties back to the beginning and delighted in all the self-references. The author’s mastery of language is stunning. I screenshotted passages to read again and again.

This book does require a high level of English language proficiency... I notice that all of the seething negative reviews have little spelling errors or weird grammar. I feel your frustration, and I think your reviews will help others who will need to wait for this story to be turned into a series on Prime Video or wherever. This book deals with profound concepts and big stories, all with a high amount of class consciousness. I also think that some readers were offended that the author expected them to understand all of these bourgeois references from 3 decades ago in the 2nd part of the book... lol Also, the 3rd part is so fascinating and well researched! I learned a lot about the Iraq war while being completely gripped by the story. Thank you for this great book, Mr. Mitchell.

If you're voting Trump, skip this book. You'll hate it. Bone Clocks is challenging and, for some, might require a dictionary or a web-ready device nearby. It is clever. It is well-paced. It is resonant in unpredictable ways.

This review was originally published on Kurt's Frontier. Synopsis: Holly Sykes is a 15-year-old who is sensitive to psychic phenomenon. She hears voices only of someone she calls “the radio people.” After a terrible argument with her mother, she storms out of the house, triggering the start of an adventure that will last her entire lifetime. She has come to the attention of dangerous mystics, and their enemies who seek to protect her. The loss of her eccentric younger brother scars her family and affects everyone Holly’s life touches. Review: There are many interesting elements in The Bone Clocks. David Mitchell deals with a rich tapestry of psychic powers. It is a story of psychic predators and those who seek to stop them. Caught up in this centuries long war is a young girl with psychic powers of her own. Her running a way triggers a series of events that scar her and influence the rest of her life. The book uses the first person point of view. However, the book makes huge jumps in time and constantly shifts points of view. While there are a few gripping comments, much of the book is long exposition and far from a page turner. The author makes use of flashbacks which further arrests the forward progress of the story.

The more times I read it, the more Easter eggs are revealed. And I don't have to think deeply to feel that I am living deeply through this book.

Good at times, boring at times...was expecting more at the end

If you enjoy easy-to-read mindless fluff, look somewhere else. David Mitchell isn't for everyone. If you enjoy having your vocabulary and mind stretched, look no further. Loved every page of this book and everything I've read by this author. He restored my faith in fiction.

It's rare to read such a gratifying story that is as intriguing and well told as this. Well worth the cost of the book and the time to read it.

Amazing!
