The Tiring of Popcultureboy 2: Tiring Harder

January 30, 2014 by popcultureboy 3 Comments

I don’t quite know why I’m doing the Booker Longlist Challenge, since it’s really become a forced march of books I haven’t really enjoyed reading that much. I had high hopes for The Lowland, since the synopsis sounds aces, but it just didn’t do it for me.

This magical, dark and complex book was also a gift. It came in a bag of books from a friend that I promised to take to the charity shop (I will at some point!) and it called to me from the bag like a jewel in the (Beast Quest and Goosebumps) rough. It is told from the viewpoint of fourteen-year-old Evie, who after four years is finally able to tell her adoptive parents about the shattered ribs she has kept secret. The story begins as […]
