A couple of years back, I heard how unique and amazing Bone Gap was from a number of sources. I have always kept my eyes open to it and I always told myself that I should read it at some point. Well, as it always seems to happen, years went by and I still haven't read Bone Gap. Until now. And was a ...
Tess and Theo live in a Morningstar Building in New York City. The Morningstar Twins came to New York in the late 18th century, revolutionized the city with their innovative buildings and technology, and then vanished, leaving behind a trail of clues to inherit their secrets. 150 years later no one ...
This is a fabulous book. It seems to be marketed as Magical Realism, but I think it slips over the boundary into Fantasy, and if that borderland is a place you like to hang out in, as I do, then this is perfect. The heart of the tale is about belonging and about being an outsider, and how you can ...
What a trip down memory lane. As I read these short stories, it took me back to my teen years and what I recalled about Judy Blume’s novels. I remembered sneaking to read her paperback novels, as my mother thought Judy was inappropriate and too mature for my innocent, sinless eyes. It was on my way ...
What can I say? If you've ever been a fan of Judy Blume, if her books have ever held a special place in your heart and soul, you should read this book. If you missed out on the beauty of Judy Blume, but you have pre-teen daughters, you should still read this book. There wasn't a bad essay in thi...
2.75 starsI had some difficulty figuring out what was going on with this book. I like the characters, but I'm not sure if the story was suppose to be completely realistic or what really happened at the end. When his issue with recognition was revealed it was really interesting to me, and really a...
I haven’t read a lot of magical-realism books. I don’t even have a bookshelf for that but this absolutely enchanting read made me want to read more in the future. Bone Gap surely lived up to the name of its genre because it’s completely magical and perfectly real at the same time that it didn’t ceas...
Finally finished this one. I really enjoyed the first half. The writing is rather gorgeous but the overall plot ended up boring me after 100 or so pages. I also didn't really like the magic/fantasy part of this novel as it felt a bit jumbled with the rest of the plot. Roza showed up in Bone Gap o...
It's a very rare thing when I encounter a book wherein every time I pick it up I have no real sense of where the story is going, and that is completely fine. The POV changes, as does the timeline at a few points, and yet I was never confused or itchy to move on to another section. Each chapter felt ...
First, this book gets bonus points for referencing Blankets, which is a beautiful graphic novel that everyone needs to read. Seriously, I love that book. Okay, in this book, Finn lives with his older brother, Sean, and Sean’s girlfriend, Roza in a rural town called Bone Gap. When Roza goes missing...
