Road of Bones Book Review

“Road of Bones ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. But motorists are not the only victims of the highway. Known as the Road of Bones, it is a massive graveyard for the former Soviet Union’s gulag prisoners. Hundreds of thousands of people worked to death and left where their bodies fell, consumed by the frozen elements and plowed beneath the permafrost road. Fascinated by the history, documentary producer Felix “Teig” Teigland is in Russia to drive the highway, envisioning a new series capturing Life and Death on the Road of Bones with a ride to the town of Akhust, “the coldest place on Earth,” collecting ghost stories and local legends along the way. Only, when Teig and his team reach their destination, they find an abandoned town, save one catatonic nine-year-old girl – and a pack of predatory wolves, faster and smarter than any wild animals should be.

Brief Summary Road of Bones by Christopher Golden

the story itself is a mixed bag. Author Christopher Golden does a great job with the setting, and his descriptions of the Siberian landscape are tonally perfect. The prose practically shivers with frost, and the dark, unforgiving landscape through which our characters drive comes to vivid, and foreboding, life. Sadly, the other aspects of the novel leave more than a little to be desired. The characters are the biggest problem, in that they aren’t particularly sympathetic, and our protagonist is especially difficult to like. The most potentially interesting character, an ailing old woman with a burden for the dead buried beneath the Road of Bones, is given too little attention and in fact her subplot is almost completely insignificant to the bigger story. The malevolent forces which rally against our characters are overly ambiguous and, while mostly derived from Siberian legends, have almost nothing to do with the fantastic setting the author chose for his story. Why construct your book around a literal road of death if that doesn’t actually matter?
