A couple of years back, I heard how unique and amazing Bone Gap was from a number of sources. I have always kept my eyes open to it and I always told myself that I should read it at some point. Well, as it always seems to happen, years went by and I still haven't read Bone Gap. Until now. And was a ...
This is a fabulous book. It seems to be marketed as Magical Realism, but I think it slips over the boundary into Fantasy, and if that borderland is a place you like to hang out in, as I do, then this is perfect. The heart of the tale is about belonging and about being an outsider, and how you can ...
2.75 starsI had some difficulty figuring out what was going on with this book. I like the characters, but I'm not sure if the story was suppose to be completely realistic or what really happened at the end. When his issue with recognition was revealed it was really interesting to me, and really a...
I haven’t read a lot of magical-realism books. I don’t even have a bookshelf for that but this absolutely enchanting read made me want to read more in the future. Bone Gap surely lived up to the name of its genre because it’s completely magical and perfectly real at the same time that it didn’t ceas...
Finally finished this one. I really enjoyed the first half. The writing is rather gorgeous but the overall plot ended up boring me after 100 or so pages.

It's a very rare thing when I encounter a book wherein every time I pick it up I have no real sense of where the story is going, and that is completely fine. The POV changes, as does the timeline at a few points, and yet I was never confused or itchy to move on to another section. Each chapter felt ...
First, this book gets bonus points for referencing Blankets, which is a beautiful graphic novel that everyone needs to read. Seriously, I love that book. Okay, in this book, Finn lives with his older brother, Sean, and Sean’s girlfriend, Roza in a rural town called Bone Gap. When Roza goes missing...
Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars, however since Goodreads does not allow for half stars I rounded it up to a 4.If you have been following my reviews at all, you know that I love magical realism books. I am always so excited when an author comes out and write in this genre, because then I ...
There was a beautiful girl. She was the most beautiful girl in all of the land, and all of the boys loved her and wanted to possess her for themselves. At first she thought this was wonderful. And then, after many boys had asked her, angrily, "who do you think you are," when she did not love them ba...
