Oh come on! Ghostwritten is astounding.
The Bone Clocks is absolutely NOT a weak novel. It's a masterpiece and it blew my mind! Jacob de Zoet, in my opinion is weaker than TBC!
Jacob de Zoet is the masterpiece. Cloud Atlas is also fantastic. Bone Clocks had good moments but was mostly nonsense. Ghostwritten was a good start and led to great ideas for his other books but was far from great.
Most favourite to least favourite: Cloud Atlas, The Bone Clocks, Ghostwritten, Number Nine Dream, Black Swan Green, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, Slade House.
I go Jacob De Zoet, Cloud Atlas, Black Swan Green, Ghostwritten, Slade House, Number Nine Dream, and Boner Clock Blocker.
So I was wrong. Ghostwritten is fourth best.
