Book Reviews of Bone, Vol. 5: Rock Jaw, Master of the Eastern Border (v. 5)
Book Review: Great Bones of Fire
Summary: 4 Stars
Though this is not my favourite in the series, Volume 5 is perhaps one of the funniest. Here we see Fone and Smiley on a mission to return Bartleby back to the home of the Rat Creatures. On the way they encounter a whole host of cute woodland creatures as well as the enigmatic Roque Jaw (or Rock Jaw as Smiley would have it!), which drives the strroy forward.
The Rat Creatures and Bartleby really stand out for me in this book, adding to the comedy and at times even upstaging the Bone boys. However, I should mention that Volume five is not all about the jokes. There are a few heart pounding scenes with a rabid Kingdok and a claustraphobic trek through an underground cave tunnel to keep you on teh edge of your seats as well.
All in all, another fine piece of work by Jeff Smith. I can't wait to get my hands on the next one!
