Front Lines by Michael Grant UK cover

Front Lines

…ple, first and foremost, and not as women. So for all its diversions from history and the trumpeting of female soldiers, very little is actually different in Front Line. It’s a story about greenies going to a war: it is incidental that they are women. The novel benefits from Grant’s easy prose. There’s a somewhat unnecessary frame narrative that takes up little more than a couple of pages – beyond that, it’s a languid third person present tense th… Continue reading

Demon Road by Derek Landy cover

Demon Road

…able different from Stephanie in the Pleasant series; and she’s running around with older male mentor figure Milo. They’re joined on their road-trip across the states by Irish eighteen year old Glen; by far the funniest character in the novel, his inane humour and generally annoying-ness is really quite entertaining. The few scenes without him feel ever so slightly lifeless, and I was ready to give up on Demon Road prior to having met him. I’m gla… Continue reading

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks cover by E Lockhart

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks

…; sophomore-to-be at one of America’s finest private schools. Consistently underestimated by her family, friends and boyfriend, and fed up of being adorable, cute and ignored, she stumbles across a brilliant way to prove that she’s cleverer than any of them: hijack the secret society that operates, rather unsuccessfully, under the leadership of her boyfriend and his elusive buddy, Alpha. Frankie is an unusual protagonist. She will rile some reader Continue reading

The Gallows Curse by Andrew Hammond cover

CRYPT: The Gallows Curse

…CRYPT even has a solid excuse as to why there are teenage ghost busters around (for anyone interested, it’s that adolescents seem to have increased Extra-Sensory Perceptions compared to adults, and are thus more sensitive to paranormal activity)- not something that is done in most teenage spy/agency novels. Hammond steers CRYPT: The Gallows Curse in a very scientific direction, and while this means that the CRYPT is really quite plausible, it does… Continue reading

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli cover

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda

…, where they live, who their friends are, when their birthday is. Yet they understand each other to the core of their being: in long, late night emails they spill their souls across the pixels of their screens and wait nervously for a response, an affirmation that there is someone else like them. It’s Albertalli’s ability to empathise with two gay teenage boys that really make Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda a warm and glowing read; her gentle wa… Continue reading

Illuminae by Amie Kauman and Jay Kristoff cover

Illuminae

…characters. World-building is equally compelling; the story doesn’t drown underneath sci-fi jargon, but it retains a sense of richness and reality and rarely, if ever, feels “made up”. Enjoyment of Illuminae will depend heavily on whether you enjoy the “found-footage” style of the narrative or not. Whilst jarring at first, it quickly becomes intuitive, though the details do sometimes get in the way. Unlike many sci-fi novels, its contained story… Continue reading

Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon cover

Everything Everything

…of pages are present. It’s her narrative as a whole, with its scattered documents, ideas and thoughts, that never really gives us time to absorb anything. It feels like Yoon is trying hard to create a holistic view of Madeline’s life that she forgets that simple is almost always better – a few long IM transcripts could have gone a long way. Given its length, it’s hard to say much about Everything Everything other than that it’s too short. Olly and… Continue reading

How to Repair a Mechanical Heart by J C Lillis cover

How to Repair a Mechanical Heart

…ping, gay-hating illogical baboons; it’s harder to faithfully and honestly understand how and why people believe what they do. We might be a little too quick to condemn the homophobia displayed by Father Mike and Brandon’s parents; but, as Brandon notes, “he’s not even a bad guy”. It’s these moments of sensitivity that really work in Lillis’ favour and move the novel away from the stereotypical Christian/gay paradigm and into less polarised waters… Continue reading
