The Other Whisper

The Other Whisper by Ian Paul Power
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We've all been there.

Group of angry kids facing one kid all alone, with others standing by and watching, cheering, or praying fervently that they're not next. Whatever part you played in a scene just like that, you've been there.

This book is full of scenes that actually (whether painfully or joyfully) relate to Young Adult life experiences, or symbolically represent the journeys we've all taken, the challenges we've all faced, and the achievements we've all strived for. The protagonist, Eoin Murphy, is Holden Caulfield if he had to deal with doctors and demons.

The story gripped me, from start to finish. I can't wait to read the next one, and watch this author develop that blaze of raw talent, and grow as the series progresses.
