“Ruby’s novel deserves to be read and reread. It is powerful, beautiful, extraordinary.”—School Library Journal

Everyone knows Bone Gap is full of gaps.

So when young, beautiful Roza went missing, the people of Bone Gap weren’t surprised. But Finn knows what really happened to Roza. He knows she was kidnapped by a dangerous man whose face he cannot remember.

As we follow the stories of Finn, Roza, and the people of Bone Gap, acclaimed author Laura Ruby weaves a tale of the ways in which the face the world sees is never the sum of who we are.

great book

easy listen. fell in love with the characters, especially the o'sullivan boys and petey! overall great book would highly recommend.

Okay

It was okay. the book didn't really catch my eye. it had a great plot I just didn't enjoy it

Beauty is In the Eye of the Beholder

Bone Gap is a quirky, odd tale of two broken brothers, a kidnapped girl, and the "ugly" girl in town. It is written like a fable and the author uses the occasional, surreal imagery to get across his point. You have to be willing to suspend disbelief at times to ascertain the meaning. Like all good authors, he leaves little bits to muse and figure out later and like all good titles, "gap" has more than one meaning. If you don't like weird, then this is not the book for you.

Pretty cool

A little hard to start, but once it starts rolling, it just keeps on going. And then you cant stop. Don't want it to stop. You get to see things in different perspectives and wonder why you haven't seen it that way before.

Feel good book

Love the readers soothing voice and how he makes every character his own with different tones of voice!

Bone Gap - Truly Enchanting

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely!

What did you like best about this story?

The writing was beautiful.

Which scene was your favorite?

It's not possible to pick one scene but the most chilling would be when Finn is looking for Rosa amongst the bodies hanging upside down.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Other worlds are closer than you think.

Any additional comments?

I cannot even explain how much I loved this book. I can't list all the reasons why, either. It's less like a book and more like an experience. A journey. An enchantment. A mystery. I liked it so much that I'm sad it's over. I haven't read a book this interesting and beautiful in a long time. I may even have to read it again!

High hopes

This book was good, and that’s the problem. From all the amazed reviews I was seeing, I was expecting something... more. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed this one immensely, but there were others I had been hoping it would rival for bizarre beauty and deep meaning. It was a cool story, but I don’t think it will be staying with me for long. It was good enough.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

I didn’t realize the underlining plot of the Greek mythology but I figured it out after some subtle clues. I think this book is for more mature audiences but overall absolutely loves it.

Bone Gap is a Magical Read

Still one of my favorites. The story is beautifully written and the audio is just as good.

Eh ...

wasn't what i expected, but still a nice ride. story is really slow for the first 14 chapters, but picks up towards the end.
