The BONE CLOCKS by David Mitchell *

Very choppy writing, could not get into it at all. Too many characters and there's a chapter or series of pages 98-166 that took me out of the story into some other musical crap then some people you're not introduced to until now. There is nothing to read in there. Then the story continues about this runaways life about 5 yrs later. She left home and caught her boyfriend (she's 15 he's 24) and he was in bed with her best friend.

Lots of 'thinking' by people, too much narrative and not much interesting action. Never really get an explanation for the action. Like her brother goes missing and poof nothing else. That's where you have to start a new story on page 58. It all sucked for me. Have no idea WTF it's doing on the NY times bestseller list. Sucked for me.

Oh yeah and what's "fecking?" or "Biro"? or "mam" "trucks wallop by" and "Seeds off dandlion clocks"? Rhimes with a tent over the i what is that?? I don't like reading crap I need to spend 10 minutes figuring out one sentence. No thanks.
