A review by alongreader
All the Lonely People by David Owen

4.0

I wasn't expecting this to take the fantastical twist it did, but that's my own fault for not reading the whole blurb; I was too excited at seeing a new David Owen title. I've been a fan since Fallen Children last year. This one, despite its fantasy overtones, is just as gritty and real as Children, and, like it, manages to shine a light on problems that have become so common place in the last few years that we rarely think of them as problems anymore. The characters were real and relatable, including the side characters, which isn't easy. This is a brilliant read and I'll be eagerly awaiting the next novel Mr Owen graces us with.
