Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Maggot Moon

One hundred very short chapters, told in an utterly original first-person voice, propel readers through a narrative that is by turns gripping and darkly humorous, bleak and chilling, tender and transporting.

What if the football hadn't gone over the wall. On the other side of the wall there is a dark secret. And the devil. And the Moon Man. And the Motherland doesn't want anyone to know. But Standish Treadwell - who has different-colored eyes, who can't read, can't write, Standish Treadwell isn't bright - sees things differently than the rest of the "train-track thinkers." So when Standish and his only friend and neighbor, Hector, make their way to the other side of the wall, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it's big...

Write-Up Of Books Maggot Moon

2.5While I liked the book, it underwhelmed me. I didn't become invested in any of the characters. I had a hard time connecting to them, Standish and his friends are supposed to be 15 years old, but the entire story read like he was 10 years old, not to mention the cover. There were words like 'hell' and 'shi*' and even an 'f' bomb or two that would indicate that it was perhaps an older teen read but the story and characters didn't read that way. I also felt as if it were anti-climactic. While

This could possibly be my very first review on GRs. I hope that many of you understand my predicament by now: I've been quite caught up in the alternate universe of Amazon. Thus, this is where at least two hundred of my previous reviews are stored. I've found the GR community to be quite forgiving and generous to a fault. I love you all so much for putting up with my non sensical diatribes about not finding the review button on my glow kindle. Mark Monday was one of the first to enlighten me and

Omg what.. just what... This is the strangest book I've ever read but very beautiful. The writing enchanted me. The story was moving and heartbreaking despite its short length. I just loved everything about this book!

Maggot Moon is different from anything I've read before. I don't even know how to label it. Historical dystopia, maybe? I'm not sure 'alternate history' does it, although it is an alternate history of some sort, set in an universe which took obvious inspiration from Nazi Germany and Orwell's 1984. It's a beautiful, touching storyas disturbing as it is moving, with compelling characters and unique prose.

Imagine living in an alternative universe, but one eerily similar to Nazi Germany. Is this historical fantasy? Historical science fiction? It's like nothing I've read before, but that's the thrill of it. Standish Treadwell and his grandfather Gramps live in Zone Seven, where outcasts and political anarchists are sent. They have nothing except some scraps of food to get them through the winter and contraband television. We all know about Nazi Germany. But do the citizens in Maggot Moon fare the

Guys!! This book was great!! I don't why I waited so long to read it, it had been on my shelf for 6 years I think. But I strongly recommend you to pick this one up. The book covered a lot of my favourite topics such as family, friendship and equality. The author portrayed so well how it is like to be under the control of a totalitarian regime and how the main character is everything but what this regime is promoting. He is dyslexic and has eyes of different colors, all against their believes

OH bloody hell!!! Okay, I chose to read this book because everyone was talking about it saying it was a really good and short alternative history set in 1950s Britain. I assumed it was a middle grade book, which is not, and I also assumed it was not going to be as dark as it truly was. The writing was beautiful, Standish Treadwell is not very smart, but he has an ample vocabulary that makes me suck in the text and I will definitely be dreaming about it tonight. The language was so soft that it
