The
Bone Clocks was an interesting read, but I couldn't help questioning what the
point was throughout. The chapters themselves are interesting, engaging
vignettes; however, the overall plot of the book is disjointed and scattered.
The reader doesn't fully understand what the narrative actually is until the
second to last chapter, which is intended to be an exciting climax, but I
found myself not really caring what happened. This book is almost better read
as a series of short stories than as a novel. Mitchell does an excellent job
of creating unique voices for each of the characters; I just wish I cared
more about what happened to them.
