It was an extraordinary book which creates tension and encourages you to read more about it. The ending was very powerful and the whole story had lots of description to it. There are parts of the story which make you stop and think. Overall, it is a very good book to read.

A controversial yet unique read! In a deeply moving story that has a constantly changing plot, Blackman has delivered a page turner in the form of a boy with a heart disease. Malorie Blackman truly defines the old saying "You never feel more alive than when you're almost dead". I would recommend this to anybody that likes books with a lot of controversy and emotion.
