I would've loved this book when I was 15/16. It's still a very interesting read and I would highly recommend it for children!

An interesting storyline, that really only picks up in the final chapters. I found the narrative voice hugely irritating and just found myself getting increasingly annoyed with the sometimes overly obvious and overly stupid narrator. Whilst I realise this is aimed at children, it will not be my choice to teach it in my English lessons, as I feel it would only be patronising to my pupils. It was endurable, but not something I would want to endure again.

This was such a gripping book - I remember really enjoying it when I read it.
