These Nameless Things, is the latest book by author Shawn Smucker. I've read several of his previous books and really enjoyed them. This one was a little different and was (according to the author notes) a what if in reference to Dante's Inferno. I know nothing about Dante's Inferno so I was probably not the right one to read and review this book since the allegory was lost on me. To me it was just a story of a village and the odd things that happened to keep the people in place or hurry them along. I don't get much from symbolism or when stories have deeper meanings, I'm a read-for-entertainment type of girl and not one who wants to read stories to make me think. This one just wasn't for me. It was a clean read though and I think would be good for younger people, especially younger men.
This book provided for review by Revell.
