Nope nope nope. I just can't do this. There's no teenaged angsty romance (yet) but the misfit boy teenaged angst emanating from this book reeks like sweaty gym socks and Axe Body Spray. The bad guys are all cartoonishly bad, and the actual monsters haven't even appeared yet. And I did try. I've suff...
If you don’t know the story yet, The Shape of Water is about a Sea God that is captured by an evil man who considers himself a Jungle God. The Sea God is taken to laboratory where he is held captive and subjected to torture by human monsters who want to destroy this thing they don’t understand. A mu...
I had no idea what I was getting into with 'The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch', but I wanted something fun and splashy to end 2016 and this sounded like it would be just the thing, with a little gore thrown in as a bonus (it had been a rough year). 'Zebulon Finch' is the darkest thing I've ever re...
Trollhunters is being classified as a YA read, but I think I would recommend this book more toward the Middle Grade age children, 10-15, whichTrollhuntersIll01 makes sense as that’s the age range of the characters in the story. The co-author’s did a spectacular job of not talking down to their targe...

He’s sent to Iowa to live with his father, but he...

Personal prolegomena: This book fell into my mitts courtesy of another round of library roulette. About a quarter of the way in, things reached such a level of WTF that I broke one of my (made up) roulette rules, and just had to look it up to get a bead on this Scowler business. Given the bit that...
After the sudden death of his mother, fifteen year old Joey Crouch is sent to live with his estranged father in small-town Iowa where his father's status as "Garbageman" makes Joey a high school pariah. Curious, Joey discovers his father's true employment and embraces it despite its macabre nature.I...
This book wasn't quite what I wanted it to be. The premise caught my attention because of the premise of imaginary friends: as a child, Ry "creates" three imaginary friends (Mr. Furrington, Jesus Christ, and Scowler) to help him cope with his father's abuse. Years later, when his father escapes pris...
