Book Reviews of Skellig
Book Review: Atmosphere is key
Summary: 5 Stars
What is Skellig? Imagine a deep blue night in a British street, owls, bones, feathers, a boy who plays football, a girl who talks of evolution, a dying baby, birds, and wings, and a man more like a statue with arthritis, and a miracle.This book is a work of art. It is a mass of colours and smells, and snippets of speech. The plot is decent enough, but the atmosphere this book builds of a waking dream, the shoulder blades and the chinese take away is what really makes this book brilliant.Suffice to say the storyline involves a boy who moves into a new house and has a very ill baby sister. He makes a surprising discovery in the garage, and the book is over in a flash. 8 - 15s should buy this now.
