Reviews

[Annika Samuelsson]

Handlar om droger och våld.
Men det som är berättelsens kärna och som driver den framåt är kärlek och hämd.

En berättelse som är skriven för ungdomar med dyslexi vilket märks då det är kortare meningar, väldigt handlingsorgenterat och det finns inte med något onödig text. Det gör att jag upplever boken som hastig och lite platt men jag tror definitivt att det är en riktigt bra och spännande bok för målgruppen. Högstadieungdomar som av någon anledning är läsoviliga.

Purpose and audience. This was an easy, fun, grim read that maintains balanced nuance under straightforward prose; the nature of friendships and cause and effect in life are easy to explore.
The parts where the plot is too clipped are actually easy to overcome, which is to the book’s holistic credit. Special credit to the author for its pacing!

[Sheereen Iqbal]

Wow, Perry had his reasons to kill especially this lady because she did him dirty twice not once but twice 😭. She had the audacity to play him. Toddie is so annoying because what do you mean everyone will do whatever he says 😭, I swear he’s annoying. I thought Marco was a true friend he deserved to die too but the plot was mad. This style of writing is what I like to read!

[Bella Paw]

This book was amazing but I didn’t understand the ending.

I had to read this book for my English class, but I really love it! The plot was great and I really wasn’t ready for it! It’s really sad, sick and twisted but the story is great!

[Tracey Pearce]

I requested this from the library as noticed it was a quick read (joys of being able to read library catalogue on line) and I read Buddy by the same author when i was 13 for English and really enjoyed that book. This book was quite good although YA but the main character was such as narcissit.

[Lili]

I thought this book was a scandalous and unpredictable book. I enjoyed every page and I thought this book suited me. I like it because its exciting and has to do with real life crime. I think that I should read more books like this ☺

Enkkuvinkkaukseen, ei sen helpompaa tekstiä kuin tavallisissa romaaneissa, mutta lyhyempi.

[Reetta Saine]

Aika kyynistä tylytystä ja opetuksia siitä, kuinka kaikkea ei voi saada. Helppo vinkattava ja helppolukuiseksi hieno lukukokemus.
