    <body><![CDATA[There are several really cool things about Cherie Priest’s <em>Boneshaker</em>: the first is the eye-catching cover; the second, that it’s steampunk; the third--only noticeable when you peek inside--is the brown- (née, sepia) colored font.

    <body><![CDATA[I'm calling <em>Boneshaker</em> by Cherie Priest an &quot;alternate history&quot; - it reimagines events of the past, so the genre fits - but it is perhaps more properly termed <em>steampunk*</em> because the real focus of the story is not on the fact that the Klondike Gold Rush took place in the 1860s (rather than t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78375228">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was my first experience with Priest's work, and it was a pleasure. I found it to be a brilliantly imagined steampunk novel set during an extended Civil War, and in Seattle, a catastrophic event has brought the Blight upon the city, which causes the dead to walk.

    <body><![CDATA[I've never read Cherie Priest, but I will certainly do so in the future.  I found Boneshaker to be thoroughly delightful and well-written, with engaging characters, fast action, and an enticing setting.\<br/><br/>Priest imagines a U.S. past in which the Civil War did not end in 4 years, but contin...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75668824">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Trafficking in two tired zeitgeists (zombies and steampunk) Ms. Priest is not adding much to those two genres. But, to be fare she that really isn’t her intent. She seems to want to craft an adventure, and she crafts a fun one.

    <body><![CDATA[Not counting the works of H.G. Wells or Jules Verne, Boneshaker was the first steampunk novel that I've ever read. While the first 70 pages or so felt achingly slow (I might chalk this up to sleep deprivation), the last four-fifths of the book were a fun, twisting, action-packed thrill ride, with li...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74339433">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At first I was a bit skeptic about the steampunk zombies.  However I found the novel quite intriguing.  It was a book not so much about the zombies (rotters) but rather a mother and son and the secrets that were kept for 16 years.  The rotters were present but they were not the main focus to the sto...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72991009">more...</a>]]></body>

I was seriously creeped out by several scene's and it was the first book in a long time that actually had me jumping at sounds in the dark last night as I went to sleep.<br/><br/>Cherie Priest rewrote some of Seattle's history to give this book its setting - an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75555128">more...</a>]]></body>

This is the first steampunk novel I've read, so I really can't compare it to other works in the genre, but I really enjoyed this novel.<br/><br/>There are many things to like about this novel:<br/>1) The protagon...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75510777">more...</a>]]></body>
