Critic reviews

'One of the best first sentences I've ever read and a book that lives up to it!' (Frank Cottrell-Boyce)
'Darkly imagined and brilliantly created, the painful dystopian setting of a world full of noise in which all thoughts can be heard as if spoken is the background to this tense coming of age story.' (on The Knife of Never Letting Go) (The Guardian)
'Furiously paced, terrifying, exhilarating and heartbreaking ...' (on The Knife of Never Letting Go) (Sunday Telegraph)
