Read this in a couple of hours. I wasn't really a fan. To me, it seemed to be almost glorifying suicide as an 'I'll show you' act. Lots seemed to be missing from the story.

Hmm this book was interesting... The writing was good enough to keep me reading, but the story line was a little odd and anti climactic. The characters were odd, and I think maybe a little underdeveloped? It almost seemed like the author just gave up on trying to enforce their personalities half way through, and they both did a complete 180. The plot was definitely anticlimactic for sure, however it was not predictable. Even so, this book kept me reading and is a book for younger readers, who may enjoy it more.

A book brimming with wonder and intrigue, leaves me in a state of quiet contentment. I enjoyed this book quite a lot.The style of writing was very reminiscent of David Almond's work, which I love.
