 Written on May 25, 2008 Summary: Simply awful I read it in four hours. You cannot put it down. The characters are so interesting, likable, and they are so real. Then it ends all wrong. I do not want to read this author again.  Written on May 22, 2008 Summary: dark and intriguing This book shows the dark side of the relationship between daughter, Bone, and her mother. Bone was fatherless at birth and has no official last name. Bone and her mother go through a lot of hard times while Anney, Bone's mother, tries to find a husband. Through all of this, Bone hurts physically and mentally as the father tries to control her. This book had a lot of detail. The detail was not of unicorns and fairies but on the gruesome things that Bone does to herself, and what Glen, her new father, does to her. Glen tries to love all of Anney's family but he just can't seem to please Bone. Glen came from a family of all boys (mother) so he only knows force as an action to control someone. I also liked how the story is written around the daughter instead around that of the mother. Bone shows me just how horrified some kids can be of their parents. The only thing that I didn't like was how many people or family members were added to the story. It was hard to keep track of all of them. Overall, this was a pretty dark book but with a lot of detail to back it up. Written on May 15, 2008 Summary: Depressing At this point, whether or not this book is well written is irrelevant. The story is so overwhelmingly depressing that I cannot imagine anyone enduring such a horrible life.  Written on March 22, 2008 Summary: G R E A T This book is superb. The use of imagery in the books makes you feel as if you've been thrown into the book yourself...you can see, feel, smell, and hear it all. Highly recommended book. Written on November 18, 2007 Summary: A really powerful book I read this book because there was a debate on whether or not it would be added into the local high school's curriculum and so I decided that I would like to see why people would have an objection to it. It is by far an excellent book with a strong message and I strongly recommend reading it. You won't be able to set this book down! |
