Review: Going Bovine



Title: Going Bovine
Author: Libba Bray
Genre: Young Adult/Humor/Fantasy
Pages: 480
First Line: "The best day of my life happened when I was five and almost died at Disney World."

Summary: Cameron Smith is in the habit of not caring. He's pretty much a social pariah at school; even his twin sister, Jenna, is embarrassed to be related to him. His parents are busy, his job's a pain, and Staci Johnson won't give him the time of day. Life sucks. And it sucks harder when Cameron discovers he has mad cow disease and will probably, most certainly be dead in a few months. Cameron has pretty much resigned himself to intense pain and suffering when he gets a message from a punk-rock angel named Dulcie, who says that he must embark on a mission through a fantastic, supernatural world to find the cure, fight enemies from parallel dimensions, and save the world.
