Inside My Head
The cleverly constructed narrative consists of three points of view: of Gary, constantly victimised by the school bully in a nasty, name-calling and vindictive way; the bully's friend, David and a new girl to the school, Zoë. All viewpoints are revealing. Gary reveals the painful and often unsuccessful attempts by a young man to control his anger under great provocation -...more

A great, realistic book about bullying. Very gripping and compelling read, didn't take me long. Each chapter is a new point of veiw either David, Zoe or Gary. Inside my head lets you feel what other people feel and gives you an insight to who Gary feels through out the story. From the very first page, it sets the scene and is easy to get in to.
The story is about Gary who gets bullied but he can't cope with it and loses his temper a lot. Then Zoe comes into his life and he tries to ignore her as...more

You've got to read this! It's an amazing novel which really does get inside the characters' heads. Just like David and Zoe we can see the injustice of Gary's situation, but we have to read on unable to do anything to help. It's this which creates enormous tension in the novel, and which pushes it on to what seems to be a dreadful, inevitable outcome. There's a twist in the tail/tale though... which gives us hope. This is a a wonderful first novel, which uses the language of teenagers, and speaks...more

Set in a small town outside of London, INSIDE MY HEAD is told from the POV of three students, Gary, Zoe, and David. Zoe is the new girl from London, David is the popular kid who's best friends with the ringleader at the school, and Gary is the kid who gets bullied incessently by David's best friend. It only takes place over a few days, but the story is a very believable portrayal of bullying and how a situation can change dramatically when someone steps forward (or doesn't) to do the right thing...more
This book is written with 3 points of view; Zoe's, Gary's and David. Though I found this effective, it did get confusing at points. The story touched on a boy who was bullied, which lead him to do stupid things and mess up more. Towards the end of the book Gary had basically become a psychopath; his intentions were awful, but I'm sure I would have ended up that way if I was Gary. I emphathised with all if the characters, but really felt for Gary. Good, gripping read.
This book was okay,even though i didn't enjoy it that much. i thought some of the ideas and characters were a little interesting but i found that the ending could of been better like it kind of cut off so adding maybe one or two pages would of helped to make it a better ending. Over all average book.
Superb, honest and gritty YA novel about bullying at secondary school told from the perspectives of three characters: Zoe, David and Gary. A well written novel with realistic characters that many readers can relate to.
A book about bullying and its' impact, who it affects and how it gets inside your head.
Not as interesting as I thought it would be.
It was same old story of bullying....boring :(
I found it pretty interesting for one thing and one thing only, that it is literally INSIDE THE HEADS of these kids. It is said from four points of views. You know how when a character does something and you ask yourself 'What in the world is he/she thinking'? You wouldn't be doing that here. It is true I lost interest (for a while) but that could only be because I keep getting inturrupted whilst reading. Not my favorite, nonetheless a pretty darn good read.
Very good book; didn't like the ending though!!!!
