Wow this book is really disturbing at one point I put it down and wondered if I could ever pick it up and finish it but of course I did! Very well written but sick and twisted so I borrowed it to my mum who was having some R&R and figured someone else should be as weirded out as I was, anyway its back with me now and I feel a compelling urge to burn it but I will of course release it instead but be warned its not for the emotionally unbalanced!

Just arrived this morning, thanks Emqueen! :)

An interesting read but I found the end 'unsatisfying'.

Back to travelling pretty soon ;)

A lovely surprise - thank you for the RABCK! I look forward to reading this, even if it does sound a bit sinister!

Disturbing, very disturbing, but also compelling. I think the most chilling aspect was that I could easily imagine a boy like Frank in the world, dispensing cruelty as he saw fit. As the critics say, an impressive debut.

Very strange, very disturbing, and very convincingly written. I agree a bit with Gyd that the ending seemed a little unsatisfying after the enormous build up. It seemed a little bit like Banks thought, "Enough already, lets just get this done." I'd still recommend it to others.

reserved for the plans of bigcurlyloz

Back on my shelf and Available.

Thanks for this book from the '1001 Books To Read Before You Die' list. Heading to Mount TBR for now.
