Rounding up to three stars. The plot here is that Will lives in a bubble since he's allergic to anything made after 1960-something. But he's bored with his bubble life so he escapes the bubble and heads out into NYC. (Side note: why are all these children's fantasy books set in New York or London? Doesn't anything magical ever happen in, say, Sacramento?) He notices that some of the people he's meeting aren't actually people. They're half animals, but nobody else seems to notice.The first halfFantasy is not one of my mainstay genres; however, based on recommendations I acquired this book in Kindle format and read it on my HP TouchPad. This book sucked me in and did not let go. The young protagonist strikes out for a day of adventure and changes his life. The author does a good job of backing up the fantasy with historical references that make it not only plausible(in a fantasy world), but enjoyable. The boy, his protectors, and his new friends are all characters that are enjoyable
I enjoyed this story about a bubble boy who is allergic to everything unless it was made before the 1960's. Clearly that was reason enough to delve into this story. I read it in one sitting.The bubble boy gets tired of his existence and the cruelty of his "nannie" so decides to escape, even if it kills him. He sees animal people and can't figure out why he is having hallucinations until he decides it's part of his allergic reactions.But it isn't. What he is allergic to is the "Cloak" chemicals
Well, what did you expect? Of course I rated it well. But seriously, read it, enjoy it and have fun with it.
SLIGHT SPOILERSNot a bad book. Why 3 instead of 4 or 5 stars? For one, you can't help but compare this story to the HP series, which is the unfortunate price every YA series will have to face from here on. There are MANY (too many?) parallels between Will and Harry. Although the plot is different enough to be somewhat fresh and interesting, the HP similarities are still distracting. Second, and my biggest complaint, is that the hero's "talents" are not fully fleshed out. The primary and initial
I quite enjoyed this book. I'd recommend it to pretty much everyone I know (my 10 yr old nephew, 35 yr old Gaiman fans, 60-something yr old mother). It has a less-sophisticated Gaiman feel w/o being a rip off. Glad I started off 2012 with a good book!
Exciting, creative and an incredible first novel! I usually try to avoid fantasy, but this young adult novel was too hard to put down after the story took off in the first few chapters. Gough has a vivid imagination that shows in this story of Will Tuttle, a young man who constantly had to deal with health issues and allergies until he discovers that he is an "immune" in a world of animal enchants. As he learns about the enchant world, he is also being protected by an elite protection force that
