Clarion Not Even Bones

O livro é excelente. Linguagem de fácil entendimento, e com uma trama emocionante que faz com que você não queira parar de ler. O livro não é inteiramente de "sangue e tripas", como algumas avaliações fazem parecer, mas algumas cenas são bastante detalhadas anatomicamente, o que para mim acho sensacional, mas que pode ser desconcertante para alguns leitores sensíveis com o tema. O ponto de vista, os pensamentos e imaginações centrados na personagem principal nos permite a reflexão sobre a linha que separa o certo do errado, sobre o que é ou não moral em situações traumáticas e de sobrevivência. Avaliação subjetiva à parte, o livro veio em ótimo estado, porém a capa e o papel não são da melhor qualidade, tornando fácil de rasgar ou amassar um pouquinho se for descuidado, mas é algo que, para mim, não importa muito. Mesmo não sendo um gênero que normalmente não leio, a história excedeu as minhas expectativas. Recomendo muito para quem gosta de suspense e um pouco de sangue ;)

Spanned, grappige en veel horror. Echt een aanrader!!

Llevaba tiempo queriendo tener la versión fisica, no le pongo 5 estrellas por que llego un poco maltratado de las esquinas:c

Très bon livre

Recommended For: Those that go NOOOOOO WHYYYYYY whenever a protagonist chickens outta doing something seriously screwed up but would've been so! juicy! to watch!This book plunges unapologetically into the darkest parts of humanity. No selective filter that only presents the "cool" sides of violence while protecting you from getting too traumatized. No shying away from issues 'cause it's scared it'll make you uncomfortable.Rebecca Schaeffer doesn't care if you're disturbed.SO, uhh... do think twice about reading this if you'd be unsettled by human trafficking, bodily mutilation, detailed dissection sequences, and general human depravity that makes you stare off into the distance thinking of how crappy the world can be. Not everyone is into reading about that, and that's fine. You've been warned though.It's too simple to describe this book as just "dark". Lemme tell you a big problem I have with a lot of books and media that get slapped with that label. In the end, they either 1. don't actually let their protagonist get their hands dirty, 2. just has them do "badass" things to be ~ * COOL AND EDGY * ~, or 3. try to convince you the correct thing to do when all odds are against you is to hold on to your honor and never lose your "humanity". Because falling to the level of your tormentors would make you no better than them. Or something.Nah, FORGET THAT.This book is about breaking all the rules other people made and living by your own. Because if all those other people are laughing and running around being comfortable with what they do while you're sitting there doubting yourself at every turn, how are you supposed to win? Especially when you're a person like our dear protagonist Nita, who secretly likes some of the screwed up stuff she does. She just thought she wasn't "supposed to". Well, when she's betrayed and thrown into a cage in a hidden black market in the rain forests of Peru, where there are "spiders that eat birds", she has to determine what she's willing or not willing to do real fast. You cannot hope for some mystical force made up in your head to punish those you hate. If you want them to pay, the only reliable way is doing it yourself.Not Even Bones is ultimately a story about a girl coming to terms with her true self. Not what other people want her to be, not what she thinks she should be, but the raw, complicated human under all the social constructs and expectations forced onto her by both others and herself. She faces the vilest parts of humanity and then grasps it within herself for power. A big theme: morals are optional. They have no real binding power. If you make life-or-death choices expecting others will abide by the same principles you do...Honey, you've got a big storm coming.
