A review by sarzwix
Boneland by Alan Garner
1.0
I hated this. I read it straight after the other 2 books in the trilogy, but unlike those, which I loved, I spent the whole of this book trying to understand what the hell was going on.
I could see that it was supposed to be from the mind of a very disturbed man, but, seriously?! What the hell? Where was he? Who were the spirits it kept talking about? Where were all the places he said he was going? Did he actually go there? Or just dreamwalk? And the ultimate question, where did Susan go?, was never really answered.
I would have much, much preferred for the story to have followed the adolescent Colin. Will probably never read this again.
