'From the moment I began reading, I knew that this was going to be a novel filled with excitement and mystery and it didn't fail to meet my expectations'
This is a story about a girl who is faced with danger from the moment she gets acknowledged by Sam but at first it is unknown as to why. Imogen has the "perfect" life – Head Girl and Prefect, the most popular boy as her boyfriend and is known by everyone at school. Sam is simply an outsider who can't fit in at his new school and doesn't know how to cope with it. Yet somewhere along the line their two worlds collide and they soon find that their lives will never be the same again.
It all starts from when Imogen saves Sam's life and unfolds from there.
Saving Silence is definitely a brilliant read for those who love a thrilling novel. From the moment I began reading, I knew that this was going to be a novel filled with excitement and mystery and it didn't fail to meet my expectations.
My favourite character in the book is Sam as he is presented by the author to have such a mysterious personality and this adds to the tension within the plot. His character is the main reason for all of the suspense and this leaves the reader wanting to continue to see what is going to happen next. The only negative thing about the book is that as it swaps from the thoughts of Sam to the thoughts of Imogen at each chapter, it can be harder to understand what is going on than if it was written from one point of view. However I think that Blaxill has lined up the chapters very well, stopping the fact that they are from different perspectives being a major issue. At times it can even be positive as the reader gets to understand why both the characters make certain decisions.
I would recommend this book to people who like a bit of excitement. This is a storyline which, even though it is a thriller, can link to everyone's tastes in some way. Whether it be learning to fit in, the struggle that comes with having a boyfriend or even family issues that are unresolved, you will find that you can relate to at least one theme in the book. I would suggest that more mature readers pick up this book as some of it may be difficult to grasp for a younger audience. A thoroughly enjoyable, exciting read!
