It took me forever to write this review because I needed a long time to process this book. It’s definitely one of the strangest things I’ve read. Cameron is a normal teenager until he starts to hallucinate and lose control of his muscles. He is diagnosed with mad cow disease and told that he is go...

text Going Bovine Book Review

Probably one of the most bizarre books I've listened to. Libba Bray seems to be a hit and miss for me. The Diviner's is one of my favorite books and I'm really looking forward to the sequel.

It's really difficult to get into a book when you dislike the main character. Cameron Smith is one miserable dude! He has the perfect family yet he is a loner, geek, nerd...well you get the picture.

I did not finish this book. It was just not for me. I liked the premise, but I just couldn't get into it, and after 165 pages, decided I'm not going to force myself to read it if it's just not my kind of book!
