Laurence Dahners can tell a story!Bonesetter’s plot is extremely unlikely. Maybe if Leonardo DaVinci was born in the Paleolithic he could have done everything Dahners ascribes to his main character, but that one person, in about a year, could have done everything Dahners's character does is VERY unlikely.It doesn't matter. Bonesetter is a fun story that lets you dismiss logic. HIs main character, Pell (The Bonesetter), is so likeable that you want the impossible to be real. It also helps that Dahners knows what he is talking about with what he has Pell accomplish. That makes it more believable - as long as you are along for the ride, at least.The other characters are believable, if not as fully developed as Pell. Some are good people, some are not. Most are mixed. They mostly exist to advance the story.I'm now going to go find the Donsaii series the author also wrote. If they are anything like Bonesetter they will be worth the price and provide some very enjoyable reading.
