Stand Off
…vel and pushes Ryan Dean’s story forward. If anything, Stand Off is a reminder that Smith is, prior to anything else, gifted with the astounding ability to pinpoint character. It is present both in his “mundane” fiction as well as his experimental work (Grasshopper Jungle), and he deftly captures the essence of what it means to be a teenage boy. The life of his characters permeates his work so much that it is hard to imagine them as anything other… Continue reading
Department 19: Battle Lines
…re consequence that they take us away from Jamie, Larissa and Kate, they become less absorbing and almost a distraction, though necessary. We find out the reason Hill has included these around two thirds in, when all the strands of the plot converge and some real conflict and tension is introduced. It’s at this point that Battle Lines gets cracking and powers on until the very last sentence. One of the themes that is introduced in Battle Lines is… Continue reading
Out of the Easy
…udience, Ruta Sepetys is choosing to set her new novel in a world far from Communist Russia: fifties’ New Orleans or “The Big Easy”. Nothing is easy about it, though; instead of Stalin’s genocide there is crippling gangster activity that permeates every layer of society and ensnares even the most unwilling and innocent. But unlike Between Shades of Gray, which was a story that needed to be told, Out of the Easy is a novel with a very different ton… Continue reading
Dare You To
…re, which dominates much of the novel; he even miraculously wins a writing competition, something he’s had little practice in and seems like a neat way for McGarry to make him a little more attractive to her readers. It’s a shame, because Ryan just seems a little too lucky at times, and his emotional journey suffers because he never confronts the inevitable eventuality of losing – something that could make him a stronger person. Dare You To may no… Continue reading
The Tragedy Paper
…an ‘outsider’ and the meaning of tragedy. The setting, in this case, feels underused, particularly for a novel in which academic pressure is a central part of the narrative; though Tim and Duncan are both seniors, the novel gives the impression of a remarkably easy school life – there’s no mention of homework whatsoever. Talk about wish fulfilment! The Tragedy Paper takes on two perspectives – that of Duncan, in the third person, and that of Tim,… Continue reading
BZRK: Reloaded
…nd short bursts of narrative from a whole multitude of perspectives. It’s almost too much and I was left wondering if it could have been a little more intense if he’d slowed down for key scenes and really developed turning points a little more. As with the original, though, Grant’s confident prose is delicious with its occasional sarcastic authorial commentary. Reloaded may suffer from a sense of middle-book syndrome, but don’t let that put you of… Continue reading
The Alex Crow
…rse, the limitless sex drive of teenage boys. Yet it’s this wackiness that undermines The Alex Crow’s core narrative: of refugee Ariel, his countless lives and blossoming brotherhood with his adopted American family. Stories of biodrones, male extinction and the resurrection of creatures feel tacked on; they achieve little emotional resonance as we hear more of Ariel’s own story as a refugee in an unnamed (middle-eastern?) country. Smith’s usual i… Continue reading
Spud: The Madness Continues
…hectic than Spud, though there is still plenty to digest. It seems John van de Ruit is saving up for a third book and possibly beyond! With the same nutty characters, outrageous humour, and casual violence, the title of this sequel is 100% accurate. Currently some of the funniest stuff in the YA book-o-sphere…. Continue reading
