Grim, intense and brutal
This is a rather disturbing and intense book, written in the point of a view of a young teenage boy, who describes his life and how he has ended up homeless and in search of his sister. It is a rather grim look at some aspects of British gangster culture, a feudal system, with a landowner exploiting the vulnerable through violent means.

It is gory, and grim for the majority of the book, which describes the boy living with a father, a hired thug who has escaped that lifestyle, and a scrappy sister, living off the grid. It is well written, even though I don't think it is Man Booker Prize worthy.

So I have to be honest - I hated the first Harry Potter book, I just really didn’t like the style of writing so I decided not to read any more of them. My sister had been going on at me for ages to read them from the third book...and thank god she did.

Once I started, I couldn’t stop. This book is clever, imaginative, heartfelt and hysterically funny - one of the divination scenes caused me to laugh out loud on a busy London tube (if that’s not a measure for how funny something is then I don’t know what is). I am so happy that my sister convinced me to give HP another shot.
