Life: An Exploded Diagram by Mal Peet

5.0

This book is just a stunning read. The narrative is very powerful, the story is powerful. It ebbs and flows ...quiet at times and literally explosive at others. This book is marketed (I suppose is the word) for YA but it's got a lot of adult appeal. I had the opportunity to meet the author and his wife and while I didn't get the chance to ask this directly I think this is one of those cases where the author writes to express a story without thinking about audience & age and I wholeheartedly support that especially when the result is something so brilliant as this.
I think this story and the characters will stick with me for some time.
