These Nameless Things by Shawn Smucker



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.
