But for me, reading this was like meeting a kindred spirit.Īlthough it was the humor in Unspoken that bowled me over the most, not every aspect of the novel is about laughs and giggles. Of course, what constitutes comedy varies from person to person, and not everyone may think Unspoken is as riotous as I did. The dialogue in the novel crackles with an easy levity that doesn’t feel labored. So what, exactly, did I find so amusing about this book? The characters, particularly our protagonist, Kami, are just unbelievably witty. And believe me, books don’t make me laugh out loud too often. I had to put Unspoken down several times because I was laughing too hard to continue reading, and out loud at that. I’ve never encountered a book that so perfectly matched my notion of what’s funny. Review: If I could personify my sense of humor in the form of a book, it would be this one. The last thing Kami expects is for Jared to be a real person who shows up in Sorry-in-the-Vale, but that is precisely what happens. Kami has a story of her own that she keeps to herself-her best friend is Jared, the voice in her head that has been with her all of her life. Now they’ve returned, and Sorry-in-the-Vale resident Kami Glass wants to find out why. Its fortunes appear to rise and fall with those of its founding family, the Lynburns, the last of whom left for America seventeen years ago. To Sum It Up: Sorry-in-the-Vale may seem like a sleepy little English town, but in fact it hides some very dark secrets.
