A review by nagia
Dangerous by Kelley Armstrong

4.0

"He knew they were talking about him. But he wasn’t dangerous. He’d never done more than shove the other boys and only when they came after him or Simon. He’d never gotten in trouble for that, no matter how much the other boys fake-cried and pretended to be hurt. And he’d never hurt any of the grown-ups. Never even yelled or snarled or growled at them. He was a good boy—everyone said so"


Heart-wrenching!

I love Derek's voice, I love his voice & I love his story!

This is the first time, I think, I read a story dealing with human experimentation that dares to narrate even one chapter from the point of view of a child. Armstrong capture's beautifully all the fear, confusion and innocence with which a child would experience such a situation.

The way Derek is seen embodies almost every known stereotype & who he truly is proves why stereotypes suck!! I loved his relationship with Simon, it shone how differently they perceive the world around them, how differently they think and react and yet how they still manage to be a close knit team!
