Doll Bones | |
"Nobody does spooky like Holly Black. Doll Bones is a book that will make you sleep with the lights on." (Jeff Kinney, author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series)
"Spooky, melancholy, elegiac and ultimately hopeful; a small gem." (Kirkus Review (Starred review))
"A little bit scary and full of heart, this story grabbed me and wouldn't let go." (Rebecca Stead, author of Liar and Spy)
"It's a deep, strange and compelling book, at times lovely, at other times heartbreaking and deliciously weird." (New York Times)
"With heart-wrenching swiftness, Black paints a picture of friends at the precipice of adulthood . . . The tightly focused, realistic tale – bladed with a hint of fairy-tale darkness – feels cut from the very soul of youth." (Booklist (Starred review))
"Compelling, chill-at-the-nape tale with dynamics and emotional depth . . . The novel’s eerie vibe and eek-worthy plot may keep readers turning pages into the wee hours, but it’s the vivid characters and skillfully developed themes of identity, friendship and loss that linger long in the mind." (The Washington Post)
"[An] eerie, tender novel." (Wall Street Journal)
"Black poignantly and realistically captures how adolescence inherently brings change; how growing up affects the ways children play; and the inevitable tests friendships face." (Horn Book)
"It's as psychologically haunting as the ghost girl's physical haunting . . . Black begins with an ordinary experience of childhood and gives it a wicked twist to reveal the truth at the center of the impulse for storytelling." (Shelf Awareness, starred review)
"A darn good adventure." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

书的质量很好，内容也很好，适合孩子读
This story did not have a enough redeeming characteristics to justify the theft of a boat and a bicycle and breaking into a library. At least with the library the children got caught. The changes in friendships that kids go through growing out of make believe play to more real adventures was nicely addressed. The book is best for ten to eleven year olds, so the theft did not sit well with me.

How deliciously creepy is the cover of this book?? Oh my goodness, I kept passing it at the book store and finally decided to buy it! It also helped that it had a "Newbery Honor" sticker on the front, too. And the part where it says "New York Times best-selling author and co-creator of The Spiderwick Chronicles."Basically, the entire cover worked in Holly Black's favor. Well played, Miss Black, and kudos to your talented illustrator, Eliza Wheeler.
Doll Bones is an adorably sinister book with just the perfect mixture of creepy and innocence to keep a reader hanging on for the ride. It isn't necessarily a children's horror book, but more so a story of friends who are making the transition from adolescence to young adulthood.
I don't want to give the wrong idea by saying "horror" because this book isn't scary, but rather creepy [at times]. I was actually hoping for a little more creepiness, but for the young mind who likes mystery and perhaps has a weak tolerance for things that may give them nightmares, this is a good selection. The doll in this book is sinister and ghostly, but the "scary" factor is fairly minimal. Just don't let your kid read it in the dark.
The main character, Zach, was more developed than the two girls as the book is written from his point of view. And although people said it was difficult to tell Poppy and Alice apart, I digress. Poppy was more of a tomboy with an unfettered creative spirit, while Alice was much more genteel, feminine, and way less adventurous (I often questioned if she was at all). For the most part, the characters were believable with their dispositions and angst and their interactions reminded me of all the make-believe I used to play with my friends during my childhood.
The only other thing I would complain about is that there were a couple spelling errors I had caught. Minimal, but they were still there. This seems to be more common these days, and with all the technology and editors we have out there, it really shouldn't be.
I enjoyed this book, not necessarily for richness of content, but for the sentimentality of watching the characters grow. The Queen played her part well, too, but I definitely don't want her visiting my dreams!
I love the cover and title. That's a given.
I immediately liked the story from the moment I picked this book up. The characters are identifiable and the story has an easy flow to it. I felt like I was a kid right along with 'Zach' 'Alice' and 'Poppy', even though I almost always played dolls by myself when I was younger.
I enjoyed the way the friends interacted and the way they played. Playing pretend was their 'game' and it was a very interesting game that went beyond picking up any ol' doll and pretending that it could speak. The game had a system and rules. Much thought went into the finer details - thoughts that easily borrowed from, and spilled into, reality.
The story was moving along steadily and then the 'doll bones' part was explained and that's where my interest started to taper off a little bit. I'm not sure it I just didn't like the way it was introduced or if it seemed too juvenile for me. I kept reading and things picked back up. My evaluation for the story bounced between 3 and 4 stars a few times. There were parts that I really liked and then other parts I didn't like as much. The second half steadily improved (less juvenile and not as thin) and by the end of the book my verdict was to rate it a solid 4 stars. The story line went to interesting places and the characters were executed well. There was a well developed sense of the pain and joy of growing up and that is one of its strongest features.
Doll Bones was not my favorite, but I thought it was good, enjoyable, and had some strong elements.
