- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This story is about bullying, the destructive power that thoughts of revenge can muster, and the confusion in the minds of teenagers trying to discover who they are and where they fit into society and life in general. The bullying gets quite brutal so people of a nervous disposition might want to approach this book cautiously.Paul Cornell has woven the supernatural spirits of the chalk downs into the story and used them to portray the forces in his tale.This is a book that will help young people realise that they are not alone in the world and that the feelings they experience are not unique to them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a harrowing read, emotionally fraught and without catharsis. My bullying didn't get anywhere near as bad as Andrew Waggoner's in this novel, but I recognize that feeling of helpless rage, the conviction that nothing in the world will be enough. If you were bullied as a kid, maybe make some space to read this book. Don't finish it in public.
