Wuftoom Mary G Thompson Books

I normally don't read young adult fiction, but after seeing this title on my friend's book shelf, I was intrigued by the description and decided to give it a try.

This book was not what I expected. It was pretty dark and twisted for a young adult novel, which is what I liked about it. Thompson does a great job of building up the intrigue, especially in the early parts of the book as the main character, Evan, is going through the change. At one point, the book seems to switch gears after the main concept is passed and the reader is led deeper into the world of the Wuftoom. It seems almost like a whole new story at this point, but somehow, it really works.

As a reader, I like to be able to imagine the characters and scenarios. If I have any criticisms about this book, it is that I had a hard time doing so in a few scenes. I don't want to give anything away, but certain aspects of the Wuftoom were hard for me to envision. Other than that, I found this to be an entertaining read and I would highly recommend for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.

Wuftoom Mary G Thompson Books Reviews

Wuftoom is unlike anything I've encountered in YA literature. At its best it's a piercing tale of transformation, and while it does at times fail in its storytelling when we enter the society of the Wuftoom, it is so wildly unique that it is sure to impress any young fan of horror or dark fantasy. The story begins with Evan, and the reader is invited to follow him on a journey few could even contemplate. What most of the world thinks is an illness, Evan knows is a process of transformation. Unfortunately, he has seen exactly what he is transforming into, and it is the stuff of nightmares. The beginning of this book is riveting, as the author does such an unbelievable job of portraying Evan's pain and misery that it was almost hard to read. His encounters with the creatures of the dark raised the hairs on the back of my neck and had me searching the shadows for vitflies.

Evan is a finely drawn character, and his emotions come across with an intensity that is at times heartbreaking. The author does something totally unexpected, in that she succeeds in making a race of giant, sewer dwelling, parasitic worms almost...lovable. My only reservation about the book is that the pacing drug throughout the middle, and I wish the author would have been able to keep the same level of intensity that was present in the beginning. As Evan explores his new self, the story seemed to lose some of its energy and focus, although this was recaptured in an ending confrontation that was truly memorable.

Despite a temporary loss of pacing, Wuftoom remains a five star read for me simply because it was both horrifying and strangely uplifting. It gives the reader an interesting look at what exactly makes us human, and delivers some truly gross thrills in the process. This one probably won't have wide appeal, but it does have all the makings of a future cult classic. Wuftoom is an enthusiastic recommend if you're looking for a dip into some truly dark waters.
I won this book from the One A Day Y. A. blog in a giveaway. I was not required to write a review in exchange, but always do so anyway.

Wuftoom is a highly imaginative but chilling book about a boy who initially thought he was just sick and then realized he was transforming into a worm like creature called a Wuftoom. This story is about how he evolves physically, emotionally and mentally-- and how he struggles to stay true to both his past human self, Evan and his new Wuftoom self, Brode.

There were a lot of great things about this book. The description is spot on, to the point that I was squirming in my seat from visualizing the disgusting way Wuftoom looked and moved and how they ate other creatures in gruesome detail. Evan/Brode was an engaging and interesting character. I enjoyed meeting the other Wuftoom (most specifically Olen, the old Wuftoom) and learning about their culture and background.

I definitely had an adjustment period to this book. I was almost nauseated from the descriptions initially. I think if I had read this when I was 12 years old as the book states is its younger limit, I would have had nightmares for days. And I still don't know how I feel about how the book glazes over the issue of children being converted into Wuftoom. *SPOILER ALERT* More specifically, our protagonist lures another child into becoming a Wuftoom-- and although Wuftoom are an interesting species, I'm not sure I would ever condemn any to that fate.

This said, this was a darkly entertaining and creative first novel from Mary Thompson.
Wuftoom is rich in originality and mystery. Mary G. Thompson writes with amazing imagery and pace and the layers of this story will surprise readers of all ages!
Wildly imaginative and unafraid to visit the darkest places of the adolescent mind, Ms. Thompson has written a real gem of a first novel in Wuftoom. Highly recommended for young creepy crawlers everywhere and anyone else who enjoys reads that move the stomach as much as the heart.
