6/29/2023 0 Comments Boneshaker novel![]() ![]() Take the idea of a dark, travellng, supernaturally sponsored carnival/exhibition/fair thing-a-ling made so famously awesome by Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes. Here's the premise which I thought was wonderful. Now, this tale isn't terrible, but it had such potent potential that I am left with that "foiled again" feeling after having my hyped hopes hollowed. This story, however, just another under-delivering promise tease. I certainly don't mean all YA novels as there are quite a few that have left my literary gluttony stuffed and smiling (you good ones know who you are). DAMN YOU YA NOVELS!! Why do you so often strut around flashing such delicious, mouth-watering premises only to end up tasting like rice cakes dipped in peanut butter and leaving me feeling unsatiated, frustrated.and very, very thirsty. ![]()
