Matheus Burity mburity — The Tompkin siblings are traveling on an adventure. Their home was sold and they're on their way to live with their Uncle. Strangely enough before their reach their Uncle's home, they discover the city of Falling Bird. Mom told them to stay together, but it's difficult in Falling Bird and even worse to try to find answers. Are you familiar with Choldenko's Al Capone series? If not, I would highly recommend those two books. If you are familiar with Al Capone, don't jump into this novel with the same mindset of historical fiction. No Passengers Beyond This Point is a modern tale of loss, questions, tragedy, answers, and family. A very good friend recommended this book, but warned me...this is not like her other stories. Too true, friend. I was intrigued by the layout of the plot. As an adult, I guessed the answer too soon. I believe the wonder of Falling Bird will amaze elementary students when they listen or read this story. No Passengers Beyond This Point was read by three named artist - Becca Battoe, Jesse Berstein and Tara Sands - one for each child. I recongized Jesse's voice at the actor for Percy Jackson. It was very difficult not to picture Percy Jackson. The gals were all right. Becca shared a very amused and annoyed elder sibling. Tara shared an enthusiastic and inquisitive young child. All in all - they pegged the roles well. Using multiple voices worked well with the books as each chapter featured a different sibling. I would like to see this style demonstrated in other novels.

Sophie Lyonnais sophielyonnais — *minor spoilers* First of all, I will never forget this book for two reasons: the title, and how it was so hard to get my hands on. That said, Keturah and Lord Death had a plot I really wanted to read about, since I'm a sucker for romance in doom and gloom situations. Now, after reading it, I can't decide on how I feel about the book. It's lyrically written, sweet, gentle, poetic et cetera, and contains plenty of very quotable lines, both romantic and deathly, but beneath all that I found the story somewhat a cop-out. I wasn't expecting Keturah to tell a great love story ... about herself. Because what the heck, that's just narcissistic. And no matter how beautiful or sweet or gentle she is, I just don't like narcissistic characters. Lord Death here seems too naive or spellbound for someone who's been here for eternity (or as long as the first living cell, I guess). Might have been because I already had a personal idea of how this Lord Death should act, and it fell very far away from how he was in the book. I imagined a cunning, bittersweet guy, sardonic on the surface yet heartwarming deep down, but Lord Death here didn't pack a punch, you know? He was quite the flaccid character to have so easily fallen for Keturah, not for her wit, or charm, but for her self-absorbance. I get that the setting's vintage and that there's this fairytale aspect to it, but I didn't like how this supposedly great heroine shuddered and ran away in relief after the Eye decided some ugly, old dude wasn't meant as her true love. Because - shallow much? I guess at the end of the day I just didn't like Keturah. It also didn't help that I felt she wasn't deserving to be Death's true love. I mean, of ALL people Death has come across, he falls for this? I wanted to like this book. I do like the circumstances. I just wish the characters had more OOMPH in them. Also, it doesn't help that I feel somewhat cheated by the promise of a great love story that didn't turn out so fantastic after all. Disappointed! Edited: Maybe I missed the point but apparently the entire book is about Keturah telling a story starring herself so all of the above is as real as fiction. I wish it didn't start out saying, "ALL THIS IS NOT REAL", because that just ruins the charming, fantastical part of it - the part I liked. Still, meh.
