Book Talk Reviwer; Marrow
From Tarryn Fisher's twisted mind comes...
In the Bone there is a house.
In the house there is a girl.
In the girl there is a darkness.
Margo is not like other girls. She lives in a derelict neighborhood called the Bone, in a cursed house, with her cursed mother, who hasn’t spoken to her in over two years. She lives her days feeling invisible. It’s not until she develops a friendship with her wheelchair-bound neighbor, Judah Grant, that things begin to change. When a neighborhood girl, seven-year-old Neveah Anthony, goes missing, Judah sets out to help Margo uncover what happened to her.
What Margo finds changes her, and with a new perspective on life, she’s determined to find evil and punish it–targeting rapists and child molesters, one by one.
But hunting evil is dangerous, and Margo risks losing everything, including her own soul.
Holy Fucking Shit. Sorry for the bad words y'all, but there is no other way to explain this fucking book. So I'm probably going to cuss, a lot, if you're offended by it then don't read this. You have been warned. This book deals with things that just aren't explainable, so please be in mind of that.
Margo lives with her mother in a house that does not make a warm home. In a neighborhood that does not offer a safe sense of community. Everyone has their own issues, everyone has to deal with real life the hard way.
Margo is different, she doesn't want to be a statistic, a white trash girl from a white trash neighborhood.
When Margo meets Judah it changes her, she sees the person she wants to be in him, only she doesn't know how to.
Then a little girl goes missing.
What happens next is a series of events that leaves Margo a changed woman.
Her perspective is changed, her values are changed. She struggles to figure out who she is.
I can't tell you what this book did to me.
I knew that Tarryn had a fucked up view of the world, she sees what others can't see. She transfers that into her writing and gives us something great, but I didn't know she was so fucked up.
Maybe I shouldn't love this book as much as I do. It's twisted and raw. It's vulnerable and so fucking real it's maddening.
I spent a lot of time thinking about this book. I can't believe how much this one book contains.
There is reality, but then there is fiction, and you don't know which is real and which is made up.
This book will test you, it will bring you to the brink. I probably shouldn't have cried, but I couldn't have helped it. It was so fucking emotional, even when it shouldn't have been.
This book will change you. It will make you THINK.
Quote- "Sadness is an emotion you can trust. It is stronger than all of the other emotions. It makes happiness look fickle and untrustworthy. It pervades, lasts, longer, and replaces the good feelings with suxh an eloquent ease you don't even feel the shift until you are suddenly wrapped in its chains." -Margo
"We are all pretenders in life, finding a patch of humanity that we relate to, and then embrace it. And the minute you realize that we are all pretenders is the minute everything stops intimidating you: punishment, failure, and death. Even people. There is nothing so ingenious about another human who has pretended as well. They are, in fact, just another soul, perhaps more clever, better at failing than you are. But not worth a second of intimidation." -Margo
"No, it's never stupid to dream. Dreams are plans; they get your heart moving, and once your heart gets moving. your brain will follow." -Judah
