The Book of Snakes: A life-size guide to six hundred species from around the world

Product Information

In this novel, the horror and chaos don't really come from the snake. They come from partisan squabbles, from political posturing. From a mayor who's so image-conscious that he's willing to round up 500 cops from all five boroughs and have the lot of them comb Central Park, inch by inch, on a 100-degree day. All so they *might* catch one stray reptile who probably wouldn’t survive the winter anyway. But I guess in the end I enjoyed it because it took the concept seriously and painted a convincing look at how a city might panic, descend into vigilantism, media sensationalism, religious furor, etc etc. The part where dog owners all congregate in the park was both funny and plausible. This middle grade book explores grief and death while artfully balancing humor. Twelve-year-old Josh’s mother died in a car crash brought on by a snake being in the car. Josh and his family are bewildered. How did the snake get there? How do they move on? Josh is left to find his own answers.

I was bored and lost interest around 1/4 into the book. I kept reading in the hopes it got better and for the scenes from the snake's pov. The question in online snake groups that follows the species identification is, “Is it dangerous/venomous?” After all, that’s what we really need to know — especially when we have children or pets that play in the yard where we spotted the snake. Godey is different because if anything, his story is pro-snake. And refreshingly so.
