With palpable drama and delicious craft, Nova Ren Suma bursts onto the YA scene with the story that everyone will be talking about. What made me keep turning the page? Just trying to figure out what in the world was going on Any complaints? Not enough depth to certain elements of the story… Recommendation: Fans of contemporary paranormal Final Thoughts… This was a very strange book. I never really knew what was going on throughout the whole story. It just had a weird vibe to it. The paranormal elements were just eluded to and never really developed. To me this book had a lot of potential, but just didn’t pull me in. However, I do think you should give this book a try. I think it’s going to be one of those books that people either love or hate. If you like your books with a side of peculiar, than this is the book for you!
Sadly, this book is significant mostly for its flaws.[return][return]This is one of the first book-length treatments of Marlowe's life, but was published before Leslie Hotson's discovery of many of the facts about Marlowe's death. Ingram's major predecessor was James Broughton, who published an excellent analysis of the known facts about Marlowe in the Gentleman's Magazine in 1830. Broughton's discovery of Marlowe's burial records led Ingram to publish a facsimile of the burial record in this book. Although Ingram's transcription of the entry was almost completely wrong, the publication itself proved to be a great boon to Marlowe scholarship, giving other scholars the opportunity to see (and read) the entries for themselves.[return][return]The rest of the book is, unfortunately, cloyingly sentimental and wildly speculative. It's interesting in the context of the history of Marlovian research, but is otherwise is a highly unimpressive piece of research.
