Add a CommentThe Peculiars is an example of the concept “Story is King.” The story is interesting and the adventure unique. It is written for a young audience (junior and possibly young adult) so the themes are dark and violent, as is the tendency. The style of the book has moments, a line here and there that is poignant and poetic. The balance is simple, often passive and generic. The ending, clearly setting up for a sequel, may leave the reader unsatisfied or may send them clawing to the author for more. I wish Mr. Bachmann the best of luck as I feel this book is clearly the beginning of a great career. His style will, I’m sure, grow into his capacity for creating new worlds and the peculiarities that live within them.
