(Heap House : The Iremonger Trilogy: Book One) By (author) Edward Carey published on

Me ha parecido muy divertido pero creo que las comparaciones con Blackwater no están nada acertadas pues está mucho más en la linea de sagas como la de Una serie de catastróficas desdichas. El tono es más bien juvenil, creo que me habría gustado aun más cuando era una chavalina.

dark funny mysterious medium-paced

This basically felt like a really dark children's story set in the dust-heaps of Dickens' Our Mutual Friend. I've loved Carey's work up until now, but this made me feel too claustrophobic or something. I don't deal well with this shade of gothic, I guess. I did like it, though, and I'll continue with the series. It's just not quite up my alley. (I'm having trouble imagining what kind of child's alley it'd be up as well?)

A strange and creepy story. I'm wondering where the rest of the series will go!

Interesting premise. I liked it well enough that I will read the sequel.

This is one of the best books I've read this year. Carey's use of language is lyrical and poetic. The words just flow together in such a wonderful way. The plot is amazing and unique and the characters are all strong and individual. I can't wait to read books 2 & 3. You will never look at garbage the same way again. I strongly recommend this series.
