Can Cameron find what he’s looking for?All 16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school—and life in general—with a minimum of effort. It’s not a lot to ask. But that’s before he’s given some bad news: he’s sick and he’s going to die. Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a loopy punk angel/possible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She tells Cam there is a cure—if he’s willing to go in search of it. With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a twisted America into the heart of what matters most.From the Hardcover edition.

While it’s easy to become dissuaded by Cameron’s “Screw everyone” attitude, Libba Bray quickly makes you feel for him as he goes off in search of a cure for mad-cow disease. Unlike the Gemma Doyle trilogy, Going Bovine takes the concept an...
I really, really wanted to like this book. I've read great review after great review. I finally sat down with it after it won the Printz Award. For me, the good times ended after the first chapter. It was the highlight of the book for me. After that it was a cliff dive into boredom. I didn't c...
What more is there to say??? I mean really, the backflap says it all.So, i was a little surprised when i heard about this book and saw that Libba was not doing a fantasy-type novel like A Great and Terrible Beauty but after watching the trailer she made for this book [wherein she dresses in a cow su...
