'Fear had me smiling one minute, then on the edge of my chair the next'
This book was a very dark and mysterious tale following the lives of children trapped inside a world without parents...
I loved the way in which Michael Grant managed to capture both the highs and lows of this absurd world that hundreds of children have been forced to survive in. My favourite characters are probably both Dahra and Edilio. I felt that Dahra struggled a lot with feeling excluded and alone because of her sexuality. Despite this she still manages to be a very good friend to Sam. Edilio is the quiet one, who secretly is managing to hold everyone together and run things relatively smoothly.
Fear had me smiling one minute, then on the edge of my chair the next. I found it genuinely frightening how these difficult situations throughout the book changed these kids and not for the better. I found myself constantly forgetting how young these characters were and how much they had been through.
Overall a superb read that I would recommend to all.
