"Going Bovine" by Libba Bray Post 1

In the book, there are 3 major characters. One of them, the most main of them all, is Cameron Smith. His new friend that accompanies him throughout the story is Gonzo. The last major character is an angel that Cameron sees within his disease given the name, Dulcie. She appears multiple times and leads Cameron through his adventure causing some conflicts as well. In the beginning of the book, Cameron was diagnosed  with "Mad Cow Disease" which has no cure at the moment.

Cameron goes to high school in his home town in Hidalgo, Texas and is bullied regularly. He refer's to himself as a being a loser, too, and doesn't care about much going on in his life. One thing I see Bray gave him is a bad family life. He doesn't get along with his uber-popular twin sister, Jenna, and his parents don't plan family things very well. The Smiths' don't have a very strong bond with each other. In the end, I would think that Cameron and his family will get along better.

Gonzo is a dwarf and seems to have a fear of everything. His mother is very protective of him as Gonzo is always in the hospital for any small problem. Dulcie told Cameron that Gonzo should go with him on the trip to find his cure as there is something Dr. X has for Gonzo, too. I would think his fear of disease and danger would change and maybe even become normal size with some machine Dr. X has. Can't wait to see.
