Okay so I think I get why people don't vibe with this book but honestly, I LOVED IT! I wrote my dissertation on CRISPR and the way that Specters work is super similar so I guess that aspect of it appealed to me. I hate Brighton but I love love love Ness but I feel like that just says a lot about me as a person. The one downfall for me was that a lot of the characters all kind of blended together and I struggled to work out who was who and who was doing what but all in all I need book two because that ending??? FRICKKKKKKK (I saw something of the sort coming, but still)

"There’s so much to like about it. Really brilliant script. I think it’s an amazingly directed movie. It’s the real trick of that movie, to come out feeling that you’re Irish and hate the English, especially when you’re English, which I am. [laughs] It is one of the most exquisite performances of all time. I saw it when I was a student of acting, and there was lots of people to admire; there was Robert De Niro, and there was Al Pacino, and here was an English person, making such a complete and visceral transformation in character that you just went, “Oh my God, we’re allowed to do that sort of thing, too?” That felt really empowering."

I wanted to leave it a while after reading before I reviewed this book. I had just finished reading Cathy Glass' latest offering, and appreciated (as enjoy for any of her books is perhaps not the right word.) it enough to want to read another. I decided I'd go to the very beginning and read this.

I think I hadn't prepared myself for how harrowing this one is though. It made me hate both being a man and an adult. Ultimately however I am glad I read this book. It has made me more resolute to make this world a better place for the next generations, and realised they are more precious and delicate than I ever believed.
