We go on a road trip with Cameron and his buddy Gonzo as Cameron struggles to figure out his life. He's sixteen, diagnosed with mad-cow disease and probably going to die. The Cameron we meet at the beginning of his journey is a bit of a sullen punk. He's angry at the world (even before his disease) ...
I'm at a loss for what to say about this book. It's a testament to Libba Bray's writing talent that such a bizarre book has such a large readership, and that is meant as a compliment. I'd wondered why the book had such vague, disconnected summaries, and then I read the book, and it made sense. It...
A lot to think about in this book. Tackled everything from physics, to death, to road trips, to cults, mythology and pretty much anything else you could think of. There was a lot of promise in the beginning but by the end I was left feeling a bit disappointed. Overall a good read though, kept me ...
I think this was transitional. The author is moving from her Victorian Gemma Doyle trilogy, and approaching the epic modern awesome that is Beauty Queens. I would like to take this moment to give you your daily PSA about how if you haven't read Beauty Queens yet, you need to run right out and do it ...
Road trip.That's what made this book so interesting to me.I've always loved movies and books about road trips. I've always wanted to take a road trip, but never really have. But I surely will in the future!!So you have this sixteen year old guy with mad cow disease, who goes on a road trip with a dw...
There is probably a decent 200 page book in here somewhere, but I've now read 240 out of 480 pages and I'm tired of trying to find it. It's kind of like Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, except without the quality of plot, setting, and prose, and with the addition of Holden Caulfield a...
I really loved the writing in "Going Bovine"; Libba Bray can write very well. I very much enjoyed the snarky dialogue but could have lived without the angst-y teenage BS. Cameron is not a lovable kid; he's miserable and transmits his misery page after page. His parents and sister are so unbelievably...
I am on the fence on the star rating (b/t 3 and 4), but I think I'll stick with this rating. I found the beginning of the book to be the best part. In humor, setup, and general enjoyability. It sagged some for me in the middle but kept me interested, which was good. I felt as if the trip was ver...
This book is so... wow. There's so much going on that you have to really take the time and read everything carefully otherwise, you will not be able to understand anything that is going on. This read was a bit slow for me but I stuck through it and it was definitely worth it. Once you get towards th...
