The Bone Clocks

I am so glad many say this is not Mitchell's best as I think it was a great read and I am looking forward to his others. Mitchell is a superior writer, and I am very comfortable with the Novella format so I was not put off by the format. In fact it helped in the reading of the whole as, judging by this book, Mitchell is great at building and defining characters, and maybe a bit less so at the “esoteric” action sections. I loved many of the characters, Crispin's boorishness, and I swear I shared a house in Oxford with a young Hugo Lamb. Even the last chapter which, halfway through, I thought was totally surplus to requirements, ended up being just perfect.
