   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  kalafudra | Mar 25, 2023 |  Maren is a sixteen-year-old girl. And she’s an eater. Has been since her babysitter ended up all over her little OshKosh overalls. A fairly gruesome scene that starts off this book! This story felt like YA book version of the movie "Raw", but much less graphic. And exciting. I was bored with the road trips. And the Travis character was very weak, unbelievably so. I felt like the story began with such potential, but then just withered away into a travel/romance story. But my biggest issue with it all was the question that kept popping up for me - HOW did the eaters eat that much, that fast? It obviously is a fictional story, but physically, even these characters simply could not do what they were doing. So are the eaters endowed with magical stomachs and teeth and jaws that open and close faster than anything else ever? I can eat a lot, but doubt that I could eat more than a pound or two of boneless food in seven minutes. So, HOW do they do it? That bothered me - a lot! (  ) Stahl-Ricco | Jan 2, 2023 | Finally I finished this one. I was really into it, and then suddenly I wasn't into it. I thought it wasn't YA (not that I have anything against YA, I just want to know when I'm reading it), then it sort of seemed like YA, but it's not listed as YA, so I'm confused about that. And it seemed to get really interesting just at the end; I wanted more of the girl on the last page than I did of the girl in the rest of the book. (  ) JessicaReadsThings | Dec 2, 2021 | The protagonist eats people alive, but so circumspectly that it's hard to know whether that person just got eaten or whether instead he/she just decided to leave the room. No screams, no struggles, no anything except the narrator saying something after it's over that's as horrifying as: "Reader, I did the deed." The narrator may or may not notice a bit of a stale aftertaste in her mouth and/or blood under her nails. It makes for an oddly lovely conflict between story and style, one that continuously delighted me for its unexpectedness. It's the most circumspect cannibal story you will ever read--and I loved it.

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE 2015 Alex Award Recipient! Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. She wants to be loved. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for thebad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity; for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her--how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way. Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car. But when her mother abandons her the day after her sixteenth birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way. Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself. Camille DeAngelis'Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality.

Maren grows up with her mother. They move around a lot, mostly because every once in a while Maren just can’t resist taking a bite out of somebody. Literally. Her mother does her best to keep her out of trouble and from harming people, but as soon as she’s 16years old, she is gone, leaving Maren nothing but her birth certificate. This gives her the chance to track down her father, so Maren sets off. Along the way she realizes that she is not the only one out there who likes to eat people. One of her people is Lee and the two of them decide to stick togehter for a while.
As is so often the case, I liked Bones & All the novel better than I liked Bones and All the film. This has nothing to do with my own imagination being better than what is put on the screen (I don’t really do visual imagination), and everything with the fact that Bones & All the novel knows what it’s about and follows through with its theme(s).
