Heap House: Book One

so-so

Man remember when people use to spend more time on here posting reviews of booksā€¦ I wish it was like that still.

Anyways, this book was strange, the storyline is interesting a boy can hear objects talking and lives in a house surrounded by trash heaps. The writing style is frustrating to follow, it was really hard finding a good reading rhythm in this. The illustrations are creepy yet fun to look at.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I snagged this series at a library sale. Haven't read it yet, but I love seeing the covers on my shelves. 1y

Forgot to post my review last week. I was a little torn between Pick and So-So. I‘m going with pick because I found the plot to be interesting but instead of continuing on Audible I‘m going to switch to print.

Can I just say I love this book? I haven't even read it yet but it reminds me of the books I enjoyed as a child. Weird in the best way. The illustrations are so lovely. š’

CouronneDhiver Very reminiscent of Sweeney Todd a la Tim Burton... dark and beautiful. 7y

RohitSawant Wonderful! 7y

KimM These UK covers (I assume) are so cool! 7y

KtheBookwyrm Those are gorgeous 7y

BethM I can't wait to see your review! The covers captured me immediately but I'm not sure the synopsis did. 7y

CrowCAH Love how they kept the same cover art for all three books, makes for a nice collection. 7y

#MarchIntoReading #JudgedByItsCover I saw a photo of this on someone's social media and immediately purchased it. I haven't read it yet as I was waiting not only for the trilogy to be complete, but for all 3 to be available in PB. #BookNerdProblems

StacksNShelves I have this to, but haven't read it either! 7y

scripturient Here they are already available in PB. But maybe that's the UK edition. 7y

scripturient And you just made me order the whole trilogy. My bank account does not thank you for that - but I do. š‰š 7y

MicheleinPhilly @scripturient The 3rd is available in PB here now. I'm just making myself wait until I actually read the 1st one to be sure I like it. āŗ 7y

MicheleinPhilly @scripturient HA! Happy to be such a positive influence! 7y

LeahBergen I thought this looked good, too! Can't wait to hear if you like it. 7y

AlaMich I was looking at the cover thinking, "I thought Edward Gorey had died but it says his name right there." Ah, Carey, not Gorey, but it's kind of weird how close they are, right? 7y

La saga degli Iremonger (primo libro "I segreti di Heap House", secondo libro "Foulsham") mi ha letteralmente conquistata ?

I love HEAP HOUSE, and the rest of the Iremonger trilogy so much!!!! Super original idea with dashes of Tim Burton-y fabulousness, and the illustrations are amazing. This is an illustration and a birth object (named 'Otto Clinchard') I received from Edward Carey. Simply amazing!

Jess This is fantastic. I love this series and think it is wonderful that you received a birth object from Carey. 8y

BookishBron Oooooh this is amazing! I read this series after you recommended it on all the books and loved it so so much! 8y

I read this last year after hearing @Liberty rave about it on @bookriot All the Books podcast. I LOVED it! Carey totally nailed the alternate POV - the characters' voices were so unusual and distinct from each other. And the illustrations at the start of each chapter were awesome!

Jan-Marie Liberty described it perfectly - "Tim Burton meets Downton Abbey" - sold!!? 8y
