The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell

3.0

Coming off the end of this book I want to give it all the stars. I found the ending incredibly moving. However, the story just doesn't hold up for me. The metaphysical stuff brought up throughout the narrative was intriguing and I was looking forward to its explanation, but when it came, it was completely implausible, dense, boring, and very difficult to care about. It tried to seem grand and important, but it just seemed very trivial. I enjoyed sections of this book greatly, and Ed's section was like a brilliant short story in particular, but it's too threadbare a story to promote.
