Only little niggle: feels a bit simple. But it is fast paced, interesting world-building and a good set of main and side characters. Made for a great read.
The unbelievable amount of creativity in this book is impressive. Every magical creature or myth you could possibly imagine is given a twist and added to the cast of "Man Made Boy". The mashup on Medusa is, by far, my favorite of all the characters. Known as "The Diva", Medusa horrifies and entices ...
Difficult to define, even more difficult to describe. Skovron's canvas is epic in imagination and scope. He doesn't pick with the little stuff, choosing instead the big big everythings - themes, mythic resonances, characters, story, romance and family. It's got it all. Boy is such a good boy. Even w...
Read it if: * you’re a sucker for a good YA/sci fi/modern mythology/coming-of-age/paranormal romance crossover novel * you’ve ever had stitches (or indeed bolts) in a prominent place, and felt that this may have inhibited your ability to blend seamlessly into polite society * you are, or have ev...

I adored this book. I'm a huge fan of Frankenstein, and to see that this was a book about the child of the Monster and the Bride, I just had to read it. Boy is your typical teenage boy. He has a crush, and wants to prove himself worthy of her attention. He also doesn't want to end up like his fathe...
Check out Scott Reads It! for reviews, giveaways, & more! Man Made Boy is a mishmash of so many genres; it's a paranormal novel mixed with mythology, cyberpunk, fantasy, romance, and coming of age elements. I know it's a lot of genres and some readers might worry that Man Made Boy would be c...
I have seriously mixed feelings about this book. While it was dorky and funny and I generally enjoyed it, if you look at my status updates on GoodReads, I did nothing but complain. I hate name-dropping and this book was absolutely full of it; the characters were kind of lame and were serious hipster...
Maybe I shouldn't expect every book I read to have conflict in it, but I do. And I suppose this one does have conflict: with the band, with grandpa's increasing dementia; but it doesn't feel like it does. Everything is so easily resolved, so brushed-over. Eh.
