A poignant tale, 12 Aug 2006
By Chrix - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bone Collector's Son (Hardcover)
I have just read the story and I loved it. It inspires me to look at adversities in life with tenacity and to move on no matter how hard the going may be.

Historical Chinatown, Ghosts and Growing Up, 21 Mar 2009
By C. June Wolf - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bone Collector's Son (Hardcover)
I loved this book. I read it with my 13 year old nephew over a weekend while he visited. Both of us were rivetted. The realistic view of a time and subculture I know little about, the rich story-telling and parallel ghost stories, the coming of age of this young boy, and the shifting relationship with his father, all made for excellent reading. I am eager to read more by this writer.

Good pieces, weak whole., 22 Mar 2007
By T. D. "A teacher and reader." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bone Collector's Son (Hardcover)
While it is a fast young adult read, The Bone Collector's Son didn't quite come together for me. There is a lot in play: father-son distance, cultural traditions, courage, the power of belief, a mystery to be solved, obstacles overcome. The several Chinese ghost stories were quite charming. But when the various bits come together, they don't work together. The disjointed parts don't flow together: they distract from each other. So while the book has virtues, it just isn't that good a read.
