I'm trying to come up with a decent review that will explain how weird/great/different this book is. (And I have a couple of chapters to go!)I'M REALLY INTO IT!!!! Going Bovine is going to be impossible to explain so allow me my head start. Pigeon holes...Cameron:Stoner,Mad Cow Disease,Hallucination...
Almost entirely surreal. No, there's a plot, but there's also a bushel basket of strange dumped in layers throughout. I bogged down toward the middle and rolled my eyes more than once at what appeared to the casual observer to be abuse of quantum mechanics but I have to say that parts of this book s...
First let me say, Libba Bray, what a terribley frightening, wonderfully freaky imigination you have. Cameron's story is so ........ weirdly wonderful I can not even begin to process it all. Never did I think I would read about Disney World, Fire Giants, an angel and an MTV Spring Break-ish house all...
Fun. It reminds me a great deal of Connie Willis' Passage, which I love, so that's good. I love the madcap aspect, and the crazy gods, a little like Neil Gaiman, but not so dark.
This is such an awesome book. I understand why it's getting all the accolades & awards it is. Cameron Smith is an average kid with above average parents. Until he gets diagnosed with Mad Cow disease. The journey he goes on with Gonzo & a gnome is life changing and life affirming. This book will...
Very surreal and imaginative. Similar to House of Leaves.[b:House of Leaves|24800|House of Leaves|Mark Z. Danielewski|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CV88E7WQL._SL75_.jpg|856555]
Wow. This story took me in so many directions - so many twists and turns it was impossible to see coming. The book is classified as YA but there is zero "talking down" to teens here. The literary elements, the allusions, the scientific bits and the humor are all right on. It's a mad story, a simply ...
Cameron Smith is a middle-class teenage slacker/stoner whose self-described sucky life becomes even suckier when, following a couple of episodes of seizure and hallucination, he is diagnosed with the fatal Cruetzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Cameron is hospitalized when he is visited by an pink-haired combat...
Wowww alright. I really don't know where to start. It was like Alice in Wonderland and Catcher in the Rye combined or something. I loved it – but I have a feeling that it's one of those books that I'll, like, recommend to someone and they'll be like "WTF? Brigid, how on earth could you like this boo...
