I was surprised by how much I did enjoy the book after my initial revelations. While you have to take some things in fiction with a pinch of salt and go with them, this bothered me throughout the book as it happens frequently.
I also found the volume of what Maren ate unbelievable too as she eats entire people in one go (bones and all). From my calculations, Maren was between the ages of one and two when she killed and ate her babysitter, and I can’t help finding this ludicrous. First of all, Maren is very young when she eats her first victim. While I did enjoy the writing, there were a couple of niggles that distracted me. The pace really picked up towards the end of the book, which had me turning the pages to find out what would happen, and there were a few surprises that I wasn’t expecting.
I’d have liked her even more if it wasn’t for her people-eating, but as this was the whole premise of the book, it had to be. I liked the writing and the flow of the book and Maren was an engaging character. While there are some stomach-churning scenes, it wasn’t graphic enough to stop me reading.Īs I read, I found that the book, cannibalism aside, was quite a good read. Being squeamish, I was worried that a book about cannibalism was going to be far too gory for my weak stomach, but thankfully the book isn’t quite as gruesome as I thought it was going to be. I was a little reluctant to start reading Bones & All.
