This book was brilliant. It was in turn both exciting and shocking which i have come to expect when reading any story by Melvin Burgess. I read this just after reading the Ghost Behind the Wall by him and the contrasts between the two novels were immense. I have since then passed Junk on to every teenager who is a voracious reader as i think every young adult should read this book.
