All the Castles Burned | Michael Nye
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
When Owen Webb, the son of working-class parents, receives a scholarship to the prestigious Rockcastle Preparatory Academy, the mysterious and enigmatic Carson Bly, an upperclassman from a wealthy and powerful family, befriends him. Their friendship, deepened through a love of basketball, becomes an obsession for Owen who is desperate to avoid the growing trouble at home between his parents. When Owen's father is arrested for a shocking and unexpected crime, his family is torn apart, and Owen's anger and fear are carefully manipulated by Carson's mercurial and increasingly dangerous personality. Owen, who has fallen in love with Carson's beautiful but troubled sister, quickly finds himself caught up in a complex web of lies that threatens his once-promising future.

I‘m very sorry to say that this book doesn‘t have many #levels to it... nothing happens. I made it 60% of the way through and still nothing had happened except a lot of basketball games. I really wanted to like this as I met the author at Ohioana and he was lovely! but I was bored 😕

Reviewsbylola I‘m so nervous for this one now though. Maybe I will let it sit on my shelf unread so I never have to experience the disappointment. 7y
KateFulfordAuthor May I be so bold to recommend my debut - layered plot, well drawn characters and a humorous page turner 7y

Had a BLAST this past weekend moderating two author conversations at the 3rd Unbound Book Festival in Columbia, Missouri! Here I am after my session with Michael Nye and Robin Sloan. (We crushed it!)

#itsashame I couldn‘t buy a book from every author at the Ohioana Book Festival but I did my best 😅 I've never attended anything like this and really enjoyed meeting and chatting with the different authors about their books! AND I got to meet some fellow littens beforehand at the #Ohiomeetup 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for organizing everything, Michelle!!!
