An engaging look at a near-future society, I'd recommend this book to the older end of the young adult audience. Adults may initially find the young cast offputting, especially if they're not used to YA, but if you can read past that this is a fast paced action story. The book has a strong British setting that's very refreshing, and does not pull punches. I'd be interested in seeing it released as an eBook - or maybe two, as it was originally intended. www.solelyfictional.org I like all sorts of books including detective/thriller types and this is a great read. A fast paced adventure with plenty of twists and surprises to keep you on your toes and to challenge the assumptions you begin to make as the story unfolds. The characters are likeable and you find yourself hoping everyone can get things resolved but knowing this can't possibly happen, or can it? Although I wouldn't generally look in the SciFi genre having erroneously imagined that this only covered Space and Aliens I'm very glad I took this up. The technology although futuristic is perfectly believable, the author obviously knows her stuff. Well written and yet an 'easy' read at the same time, not a combination that is always achieved. For this reason I also think it might appeal to youngsters/teens who have outgrown children's books but are only just getting into longer adult novels. I have just finished reading Child of the hive & i belive it is the best book i have read this year. I would not recomend this book for younger children though, in my opinion i would say it is aimed at young adults say 15+. It has a great story line and there is a lot of humer, there is something for everyone. I recomend this book whole heartedly. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Will is different. A genius at maths who, though at school, lives on his own in a dingy, run-down bed-sit and works at night to support himself. Sophie is different too, but she spends her days in a secret government facility creating unfathomable patterns on endless sheets of graph paper. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

However, there were a few reasons why I wouldn’t give this five stars. The opening scene is a rush of names and confusion, and turns out, an important scene to remember for later in the novel. This initially made it hard to get into and put me off a little. Also there were some places that felt rushed, where I felt it needed a little padding out for tension and for the story to feel more realistic and emotional. I also felt like this could easily be two novels, and may even be better if it was. The novel seems to pick up where the good bits are, just after all the struggling which means that the climax just isn’t as high as it could have been. That being said, it was worth reading and I loved the ending. I wouldn’t change a thing about that. ( )
