![]() ![]() In the end, they are just trying to survive in a world that decided they are less than human. ![]() Sometimes they are forced to ignore other peoples pain and sometimes they even delight in it. They show selective empathy, making good and bad decisions in equal measure. But she like many of the other characters are very human. Though you may root for someone like Nita, she isnt without her flaws. There are no clear-cut good and bad characters in this one. ![]() But if youre like me, youll appreciate that Schaeffer takes her gloves off in this one, so to speak, embracing the gruesomeness of the story and testing her characters at every turn. ![]() If youre easily squeamish when it comes to blood or severed body parts, Not Even Bones may not be the novel for you. When her mother returns from a hunting expedition with a living, breathing young man as a prisoner, bent on selling his body parts one piece at a time, Nita must decide what kind of person she is going to be. Nita finds conversing with the dead far easier than with the living, but this way of life has kept her in part ignorant of the world outside. Nita has spent years dissecting bodies and helping her mother sell various parts of unnaturals, humans with strange abilities that can be both deadly and odd, on the black market. Rebecca Schaeffers Not Even Bones is a bloody romp which explores morality in a world that has little room for things like mercy. ![]()
