Summary: Fairy Tale for Adults
Comment: Having read and enjoyed both The Wooden Sea and The Land Of Laughs, I was pleased to find Bones of the Moon sitting on the shelf at my local bookstore. I was between books so I bought it, got it home and started on it right away.
Bones of the Moon is familiar territory for any readers who have read other Carroll novels. Carroll deftly blends real life with fantasy to form his unique hybrid. Unlike other books I've read by him, however, Bones of the Moon dragged a little bit. And I'm not sure why. By the time I reached the end, I was emotionally involved and was very pleased overall.
This or any other novel by Carroll is worth a read. His imagination is unparalleled and its plain to readers that he enjoys what he does. I think Carroll's books are, to adults, what the Narnia or Oz series were to us when we were kids.

Summary: A thrilling dissolution of the line between fantasy/reality.
Comment: This is truly an incredible book. Have you ever wondered if what you dreamed was real in some other world? Can you imagine the thrilling possibilities -- and the danger? If you are fascinated by the dissolution of the line between fantasy and reality, this book is a must-read.
Cullen James' wonderful-yet-ordinary life takes a turn for the strange when she starts having dreams about a fantastic land called Rondua and a young boy named Pepsi. As the dreams become more vivid and commanding, Cullen learns that Pepsi is the child she aborted years ago. From that point on, the dreams weave themselves tighter and tighter into Cullen's waking life, until the two cannot be separated and survival in "reality" absolutely depends on success in Rondua.
Jonathan Carroll takes your weirdest mental flights of fancy and makes them real. Anything can happen, and nowhere is "safe".

Summary: Bland
Comment: Cullen James has a good life: wonderful husband, healthy baby, good friends. Then one day the Rondua dreams start. Bones of the Moon took a long time to get started, and even then didn't feel like it was moving. A few major characters seemed to serve no purpose, and though all of them were likable, liking them wasn't enough to justify the amount of time spent developing them. The characters that did matter were involved in a lackluster quest in a dreamworld devoid of interest. The writing was neither wonderful, nor horrid, but could have used more editing; it was not uncommon to read dialog several times over to verify who had said what. Unfortunately, Bones of the Moon was just boring.
