Screenwriter David Kajganich wanted to remain faithful to the soul of DeAngelis’ horror-romance, while also pushing the nearly decade-old story forward. How does Bones and All compare to the book? “It’s a dark fable-it’s a fable about overcoming your limits and your nature, and finding love.” “I think it’s a romantic film-it’s a romance,” he told The A.V. (Fun fact: DeAngelis is a vegan and had newly become one when she started writing the book.) But Guadagnino sees something beautiful in the horrors portrayed in the road trip movie. The film, written by David Kajganich, who previously worked with Guadagnino on Suspiria and A Bigger Splash, doesn’t shy away from the blood and guts that comes with Maren and Lee’s insatiable need for human bones and all. The bloody romance, set in Reagan-era America, stars Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet as Maren and Lee, two misfits whose taste for flesh brings them together, but may also be what ultimately tears them apart. 23, is based on Camille DeAngelis’ 2015 coming of age novel of the same name.

It explores joy and beauty of being queer and as well as challenges which comes with it. I also liked how the story explores how class adds another layer of privilege, and this is exemplified in how Chiamaka, who grew up and lives in a rich neighbourhood and how it insulates her, versus Devon, from a poorer neighbourhood, differently navigate and perceive society and the spaces that they occupy. And being an outsider I enjoyed reading about it, got to learn something new. It doesn’t just discuss these themes but digs deeper and questions everything and it was compelling and downright chilling. I really appreciate how this book addressed a lot of heavy topics (racism, homophobia, elitism and white supremacy)in a short span of time all while staying within the interesting and dynamic plot line of a thriller. Two Black teens become the targets of an anonymous texter and they must work together to take them down.

In lieu of organic characterization, the reader is bluntly told what characters are supposed to be like. So he plumbs the thesaurus for fancy synonyms without understanding their connotative meaning, claims to have invented a new language when all he's done is made up a couple dozen words, and sends his protagonist on a textbook hero's journey without any idea how to make that journey compelling. But the author has pretensions to, well, pretentiousness. Had he ripped off Star Wars more closely, Eragon might have been a gripping narrative, if nothing else. Actually, that may be giving Paolini too much credit. But, as many other reviewers have said, Eragon is a shameless copy of Star Wars: A New Hope cloaked in generic high fantasy tropes. This is a relatively minor issue in the book, though, and were the content worth reading, it wouldn't be enough to stop me from recommending the book. They're the most beautiful, magical, and good creatures in Paolini's derivative world, and anyone who disagrees with them is either stupid, evil, or both. You see, the elves in this book are atheists, which would be fine in and of itself, but they're also an entire race of Mary-Sues. ![]() The most surprising thing about this otherwise flat, overlong retread of ground blazed by Tolkien and Campbell is its atheist agenda. ![]() |
