Whooops I forgot to update I read this - it was alright - I had seen the movie though and think that influenced me a bit.. wish I had read the book first - I think the next books will be better - only watched movie #2 once a long while ago and then I don't think I continued with them. It wasn't bad though and daughter now asked to listen to them since I have it on audible that's what we do during supper time - perhaps that's a bad habit - ah well..............
I was lucky enough to win a free copy of Matthew crow's `In Bloom` from the good reads giveaway.
I have never read anything from this author before,so I didn't know what to expect,but I can tell you I wasn't disappointed.
The story is told by fifteen year old Francis Wootton who has recently discovered he has leukaemia. Francis is very intellectual and grown up for his age,this could be due to his dysfunctional family( gay brother,absent father,mad grandmother).
During Francis treatment he meets Amber and their love blossoms,crow covers love,relationship,bravery and hardship within this book
I think this book would be classed as young adult,and very much reminds me of sue Townsend's Adrian mole.
I will be looking out for more books from this author.
