All the Birds in the Sky

I definitely wanted to like All the Birds in Sky more than I actually did. This allegorical novel that takes on Magic vs. Science just felt overwrought. Patricia and Laurence are looking for ways to solve the problems humans have started, just using different mechanisms to figure it out. It took forever for me to finish this book, yet I couldn't NOT finish it. Which, I guess means it was fine. Or fine enough.   A little silly and pretentious with a doomsday machines and magic unravellings. Enh.

Best quote:  "Boredom is the mind's scar tissue."

Best quote runner up: "Children are adults who haven't yet learned to make fear their hand puppet"  (but like most of this book, it sounds good but on further inspection actually makes no sense)
