Wild Boy (Remix) Lyrics

The travelling freak show setting was fantastic, especially when contrasted with the dark, seedy streets of Victorian London. While one setting is colourful, busy and exciting, the other is creepy, dark and quite disgusting. There are dark, damp sewers along with a mansion hiding secret rooms which are filled with bodies and bones. Rob Lloyd Jones certainly makes his world a place to chill you to the bones, and to never want to go there yourself.

Overall, Wild Boy is a fantastic read filled with interesting characters and a great mystery to solve. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

The author does a wonderful job of depicting the wretched conditions of the carnival life as well as the grimy London setting.

I enjoyed seeing how Wild Boy's character evolved and became more accepting of himself and thus more self assured. A must read for historical fiction. Mar 09, Anthony Burt rated it it was ok. In fact, I started wondering where the actual impetus for the story was. Ok, yes, he's a jilted "freak" in the circus, no one loves him, he wants to escape etc, but it just started feeling like yada-yada-yada, heard it all before. Sorry Rob - perhaps I just wasnt in the mood for this, and it's obviously doing really well for other people as it's won awards and there's a sequel coming out. Sadly, I won't be reading it as I couldn't finish this one.

Dec 07, Sue Murdoch rated it it was amazing. This book begins with fantastic, evocative description and continues to delight throughout. I felt absorbed into the grimy streets of London and its filthy dank underworld; the harshness of the story's characters living from day to day by the rule of the circus gave a contrasting insight into the world of the Victorian ruling classes, raising the question - just how does a country hold on to power and empire?

I loved the Sherlock Holmes feel of a quest and felt that the inner emotional battle Wild Boy experienced trying to overcome 'freak show' prejudice beautifully balanced his character. I'm very much looking forward to the next book! At first I was unsure about this book, it had good reviews but the first few pages I wasn't sure, ' Wild Boy is a freak but he is likable and convincing character as too is Clarissa, a circus, acrobat girl of some talent and Sir Oswald with his war injuries. The tale has strong links to Sherlock Holmes, with adventure, murder and solving of crimes in London.

A great addition to the shelf physically, wonderful hardcover with colour printed pages for Part headings and Reward posters etc. Otherwise, the story was pretty average. Wasn't excited throughout much of it. I read a review in School Library Journal that summed this one up very nicely.

Sherlock Holmes meets Oliver Twist in a carnival of oddities in London. I liked the mystery but figured it out early on.

It had everything I could possibly love in a story: A circus setting set in the Victorian era "for fans of Sherlock Holmes. The story left me wanting for nothing, except perhaps for one pet peeve: I WISH there had been more mystery! This is, without a doubt, a whodunnit story, and yet I was able to figure out whodunnit before half the book was over. I'll put forth my disclaimer right now and say I am not the brightest crayon in the box.

So when I figure out who the mystery character was immediately, I was kinda let down. I actually WANTED to be wrong by the end of the book, because if I, a person slow to catch on jokes and the perfect person to organize a surprise party for with minimal effort could alread figure out whodunnit, then how fast could other readers with higher IQs figure it out? Despite this, the story is not without charm, and I loved the setting and pacing. Neither is the dialogue too wordy whenever Wild Boy has to explain his observations. I'm hoping the sequel will be a tougher mystery to solve, at least where readers are concerned.
