Not tried this author, I've had The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas waiting on the pile for a few years now.

Two very different books, both well worth reading!

Almost feel like I read a different book to other reviewers and/or I missed something! 2.5 stars from me, mostly 5 stars from everyone else....

In spite of the great reviews this book has been getting, I realised when I was 3 or 4 chapters in that I had somehow reduced my expectations of it. I mean, new author, can't expect the standard of the first two to be maintained in every book, can wee? Yes we can.

PS - listened to this one on Audio - and interview with the writer and the narrator at the end was really interesting.
