Review * Articulately literary, horrifically grotesque and mind-bendingly complex, Yancey's trilogy conclusion might be the best of the Monstrumologist trilogy. His 19th-century dialogue and descriptions run even smoother than the previous two titles, and his characters have grown deeply complex. He deftly blurs lines between science and the supernatural, and what results is a long, dark-night-of-the-soul journey for both Will Henry and Pellinore that is certain to turn the hearts and the stomachs of every reader who dares open its pages.--Kirkus Reviews, starred review* The relationship between Will and his master has never been more complex...Yancey's skill as a stylist cannot be denied.--Booklist, starred reviewA wonderful mix of period fiction and gothic horror--The Horn BookAn excellent addition to an amazing series. The language is perfect, era-appropriate, and wryly humorous. The details are gruesome and horrific and not for the squeamish. The action is exciting and well-paced. The characters, their relationships, and the moral dilemmas they face, however, are the true hub of the story. Warthrop is gorgeously complex--at turns petulant and enthusiastic, selfish and giving, frighteningly intelligent, then blinded by ambition. But it is Will Henry who grows in this story, as he starts truly becoming a man...This is a wonderful book, and readers will yearn for the next in the series.--VOYA Review Quote * "The relationship between Will and his master has never been more complex...Yancey's skill as a stylist cannot be denied."-- Booklist , starred review Excerpt from Book The Isle of Blood After several years of service to the monstrumologist, I approached him with the idea of recording, in the interest of posterity, one or two of his more memorable case studies. I waited, of course, until he was in one of his better moods. Approaching Pellinore Warthrop while he wallowed in one of his frequent bouts of melancholia could be hazardous to one''s physical well-being. Once, when I made that ill-advised approach, he hurled a volume of Shakespeare''s tragedies at my head. The moment presented itself at the delivery of the day''s mail, which included a letter from President McKinley, thanking Warthrop for his service to the country upon the satisfactory conclusion of "that peculiar incident in the Adirondacks." The doctor, whose ego was as robust as any of Mr. P. T. Barnum''s sideshow strong men, read it aloud three times before entrusting it to my care. I was his file clerk, among other things--or, I should say, as well as every other thing. Nothing outside his work could brighten the monstrumologist''s mood more than a brush with celebrity. It seemed to satisfy some deep yearning in him. Beyond elevating his moribund spirits and thus ensuring--momentarily, at least--my physical safety, the letter also provided the perfect entr Details ISBN1416984526 Author Rick Yancey Short Title ISLE OF BLOOD Pages 560 Audience Age 14-17 Publisher Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers Language English ISBN-10 1416984526 ISBN-13 9781416984528 Media Book Format Hardcover DEWEY FIC Series Number 03 Year 2011 Publication Date 2011-09-13 Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2011-09-13 NZ Release Date 2011-09-13 US Release Date 2011-09-13 UK Release Date 2011-09-13 Subtitle Volume 3 Series Monstrumologist Imprint Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers Illustrations Illustrations, unspecified Audience Teenage / Young adult We've got thisAt The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.With fast shipping, low prices, friendly service and well over a million items - you're bound to find what you want, at a price you'll love! 30 DAY RETURN POLICYNo questions asked, 30 day returns!
