The Road Of Bones (2006) - Plot & Excerpts

I have read other Anne Fine books so was tempted to read this one. I'm not sure about this book - it's almost as though it was meant to be a powerful novel but didn't quite get to the top of the pile. Nothing wrong with the subject choice - we need to read to be aware, to have our eyes open to other ways of living. However the book started badly with a roundabout, rambling opening that lost me somewhat, then it became a skim over story of horror, corruption and brutality. As I said before, it tried hard but didn't quite draw me in. I'd still recommend it to those who have never read this kind of story before as it isn't quite as shocking as it should be and is therefore more palatable to younger readers. Y/A years 9-11 - have a go at something different.
