    Do not be lured in by the Cover of The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones to expecting a Novel packed with Action and Magic It is nothing of the Sort Instead, Raw Head, as I shall henceforth refer to this Book for brevity s sake, is a slow moving, pretentious Tale of Psychosis, Pedophilia, and Sado masochism While I cannot necessarily say that this is a bad Book, I can say that it is an acquired Taste, one I have no interest in ever personally acquiring.You may perhaps be wondering at my newly di [...]

    Growing up in Berkshire now Oxfordshire in the eighteenth century, close by the white chalk horse, Tristan Hart spent much of his childhood with his best friend, Nathaniel Ravenscroft, the beautiful son of the village rector Nathaniel has two characteristics that only Tristan seems to be aware of one, he always, always, escapes trouble, seeming to disappear into thin air and letting Tristan take the blame for all their mischief and two, he has a habit of suddenly snatching terns a kind of bird o [...]

    The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones is definitely something different It s a dark and twisted tale that leaves the reader both uncomfortable and fascinated Wolf makes some interesting stylistic choices that might be hard for people to overlook, as they can be quite alienating if one isn t prepared for them However, I hope that people do look past these challenges, because beyond the presentation there is a tale worth reading and some interesting questions to ponder.What are the stylistic choic [...]

    I was eager to read THE TALE OF RAW HEAD AND BLOODY BONES If there s one thing I love, it s a fairy story And the bogeyman Raw Head may not be well known on this side of the pond, but I have heard of him because I am just that much of a geek Okay, so he was in the latest Dresden Files novel Throw in a genius young man who might be mad and I m there.Then I started the book and worried about what I d gotten into by signing up for the TLC book tour There was the capitalization of every noun, the ar [...]

    A hard book to summarise.Jack Wolf explores the mid eighteenth century, a time balanced between the scientific future and the superstitious past, a time when talented and intelligent Tristan Hart grows up on his father s country estate west of Oxford Tristan s mother is dead, his father remote and lost in grief, and his only companion is Nathaniel Ravenscroft, tearaway son of the local Vicar Tristan is attracted both by the sensual life that Nathaniel pursues and by the urge to study science, sp [...]

    The Tale of Raw Head Bloody Bones by Jack Wolf was a surprise find and a real treat for me I saw it advertised by my favourite bookstore in Bath and decided to try this local author The book is an incredibly well written account of the life of Tristan Hart, a physician in England s 1750s, who battles with genius and insanity and a sexual fascination with pain The books is told from the mentally ill protagonist and therefore leaves the reader at times unsure as to what is real and what is product [...]

    There is a lot to say about this book but the number one thing I would ask myself before deciding how to rate it would be, Would I read this book again The answer is no, I don t think I would The premise and plot were interesting enough but I never felt connected to any of the characters The language and spelling was distracting although I appreciate that it was written thus to reflect the time period of the setting The internal musings of the main character about the meaning of life and all its [...]

    ever since reading the three quarters of the tale of raw head and bloody bones by jack wolf that I managed to choke down, I ve been terrified of picking up another book written by some neckbeard misogynist I never would have known, judging from the stylish cover and enticing summary on the back, that this book would be over 500 pages of the author wanking off to his porno inspired interpretations of women the witchy, evil, g y woman slur against Romani people don t get me going on that, the unde [...]

    This was a weird one The main character Tristan is studying to be a doctor and exploring the link between the body and brain when it comes to pain He has some very questionable methods and strange ideas That in itself doesn t sound very thrilling to read but there is a whole host of fairy type characters and Tristan s mental state to keep the story plodding on.Im not sure about this book I think I enjoyed it, I got to the end at least It didn t have a lot of action or even a likeable main charac [...]

    Quise tomar un respiro del libro fantasmas de Chuck Palahniuk que por qu estaba muy fuerte y comenc este, jajaja, peor no est pero tampoco mejor Son sumamente bizarros los dos.Es una combinaci n entre sadomasoquismo y medicina con un toque de magia, eso s muy buen escrito y muy entretenido Ame a La murci laga.

    If Sweeney Todd had gone to medical school instead of applying his entrepreneurial talents to the baker barber business, he might have been Tristan Hart of Jack Wolf s The Tale of Raw Head Bloody Bones Surely, Tim Burton must have influenced this novel as much as any eighteenth century picaresque or gothic romance Although the protagonist is not an impoverished foundling, he feels abandoned His mother died when he was five His father cannot even meet his son s gaze long before the adolescent thr [...]

    This is a messed up book It s also odd, imaginative, a little gimmick y, gross, captivating, fascinating, horrifying, and weird Set in the mid 1700s, our narrator is Tristan Hart, a young man of some means and some madness Growing up with a depressed widower father, Tristan s best friend was the ethereal Nathaniel Ravenscroft, a handsome and daring young man who eventually runs off with gypsies Tristan grows up a rather ordinary boy until an incident with a tutor brands him high strung and prone [...]

    Probably my favorite book All the people who say the main character Tristan Hart is unlikeable are very misleading, or else they didn t understand the book Tristan Hart is a medical genius, but also insane When he is in control of his senses, he is very passionate and uses logical reasoning, being a man of science When his mind takes over, though, he walks down a dark path that he cannot control no matter how hard he wants to He is obsessed with the concept of pain as well as preventing it, and [...]

    This book is nearly too strange for words I liked the idea of reading about a crazy guy in the 1700s but because it s written in first person that makes it impossible to weed out what s real and what s a hallucination I understand that that s the point, but at the end I felt basically like it left it up to the reader whether the hallucinations were in fact real or not On top of that, all the random capitalization for several words in the sentences kept throwing me out of the book for the first l [...]

    A fascinating read While it does contain some elements that would, and judging by other reviews, have alienated some readers sadism, unquestioning vivisection, cruelty and abuse , and the protagonist is rarely sympathetic, regardless the work itself is ambitious and interesting I did not find the adoption of eighteenth century syntax and style jarring although I expected it going in and I work with eighteenth century documents regularly , and once you get used to it, it s no barrier to quick and [...]

    If I wanted to get picky, I d say this one really deserves 3.75 stars I enjoyed the pseudo olde English style of writing and I found the main character intriguing, which always gets at least three stars in my book Parts were hard to read in the same way that a movie is hard to watch when the main character starts doing something really self destructive and you want to yell at the screen But overall the story transcended those awkward moments and I found it to be quite an enjoyable read It certai [...]

    This was not what I expected and I found it a bit of a surprise when I first started reading it and found that a contemporary author had written a novel set in the 18th century and using language that evokes that time period Ir s written as a kind of memoir of Tristan Hart, an incredibly intelligent young man who finds his grip on reality and sanity somewhat loose It took me a little while to get into but in the end I thoroughly enjoyed it and found myself trying to work out which bits were real [...]

    One of the difficult books I ve read The language, spelling and writing style are straight out of the 18th century The capital letters were jarring and didn t allow me to fully immerse myself in the book The plot itself was ok but the stylistic choices were too distracting to allow me to really enjoy reading it.Also, there were large sections dedicated to philosophical questions like What is pain and What is the soul which were too dry to be enjoyable.

    I am eye fucking this cover right now I love it.The book sounds awesome too.

    it was pretty good It had some interesting philosophical ideas, so that made me really enjoy it.

    I will be completely honest with you I have read this book, from start to finish, and I have absolutely no idea what to do with it I don t mean literally, of course It lives in my iPad, so it s not like I have to find a home for it like some difficult dog or slightly deformed kitten I mean, I ve read it, I ve absorbed the story, and I ll be goddamned if I really know what to think about it.But I ll tell you what I couldn t stop reading it And that has to count for something.The Tale of Rawhead a [...]

    2.5 stars This book was pretty weird Based on the description, I thought it would be action packed and mentally terrifying In reality, it was slow and not scary at all Jack Wolf stuck true to the way books were written during our character s time period Major props for the amount of research he did, because it did a good job in the sense of the writing style But because of that, he put unneeded detail upon unneeded detail and every noun throughout this book was capitalized, making it difficult t [...]

    Est es una de las historias que m s me han gustado, ha sido una lectura amena, consistente y los personajes con sus personalidades no rayan en lo ordinario Aunque hay momentos de la historia que suele ser un poco tediosa, el autor lo compensa con pasajes que te hacen interesarte m s en la historia, me ha parecido que la lectura fue r pida a pesaar de que el libro puede ser algo largo Me ha gustado.

    Would I read it again Probably not There are some disturbing things throughout this book, but I appreciate what Wolf has done It s beautifully written, creative, and surprising.

    OK I m vacillating between 1 and 5 stars aka not sure if I hate it or love it so I m not rating it at all.First if you can t cope with mid 18th century language, then this is not for you Capitals for every noun odd spellings phrases all totally in keeping with the first person POV of Tristan Hart, a young man, mentally disturbed, complete genius introspective but awfully intelligent growing up used to his station in the world, questioning everything, and a budding anatomical surgeon.His what pro [...]

    2.5 Stars This is definitely going to be one of the most unusual books I ve read in a while The story follows Tristan Hart from his youth to adulthood, and we realize from the beginning that he s a little strange, particularly as we witness his interactions with his equally warped friend Nathaniel Ravenscroft, but the story really gets going as does Tristan s sanity after a mental breakdown when the fear of a Jacobite invasion becomes too much too bear Unsure of how to handle him, his father and [...]

    This review originally posted at More Than Just MagicThis review is kind of hard to write because my personal feelings on this book are mixed but the writing and quality of story telling itself were extremely well put together.Let s start with the writing The entire novel is written in Old English right down to the capitalization of the nouns It took a little bit of getting used to I mean how many of us read that style of writing on a regular basis really But once I did adjust I began to really [...]
