Slade House

The Bone Clocks was for me a sublime novel. The addictively crazy mix of realism and fantasy hit my reading spot. Consequently I was always going to like this fun attachment to that absorbing book. Slade House is short and very very readable. It has the usual nods and winks to David Mitchell's characters and events of past books. The cultural and historical mentions that make him such a good read are there as usual.

Slade House will not appeal to those that did not like the fantasy elements of The Bone Clocks as it is an extension of that element. Those that expect Slade House to be The Bone Clocks Part 2 will also be in for a disappointment as it is far less complex. But it should be enjoyed by those that are admirers of David Mitchell and with that I am. I have now completed his oeuvre and look forward to his next release.
