Review
First things first, this is a children's book, recommended to me by my Writing for Young People module tutor. I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did; that feeling comes with the territory of reading lists and the like. But I really think it's impossible to not like this book.
It was so beautifully written, it was as though every single word had been perfectly and carefully chosen. If it hadn't been a library copy I would have been underlining almost all of it. The story was so touching and heartbreaking made even more so by Patrick Ness' writing, as well as the story behind the book and how it came to be.
