Unforgettable!,
By Mountain lady (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bad Faith (Paperback)
Be warned that when you start this book you'll not be able to put it down! Crammed with a host of memorable characters, a plot that is completely - and all too horribly - believeable, and enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat, this is a veritable tour de force from a writer I fully expect to - and if there's any justice in the publishing world she most certainly should - win a host of prizes.Cass and Ming will live in your memory for a very long time, as you laugh with them, cry with them, and battle the forces of The One Church with them. Tremendous!

Don't pick it up if you're short of time,
By
This review is from: Bad Faith (Paperback)
This is not a book to lift and lay. The minute you start reading you're gripped by the characters and what is happening to them and are desperate to read on to find what happens to them.Organised religion, fundamentalism, politics, violent death - not exactly easy subjects, but Gillian Philip's deft handling makes it anything but a difficult read. This would be a fundamentally great book for school book groups (or ones elsewhere, for that matter!) as there is so much to discuss. I agree with a previous reviewer to say that it's only a matter of time before this book scoops some major prizes.

Astoundingly good,
By K Andrews (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bad Faith (Paperback)
BAD FAITH is ASTONISHINGLY good. Think Orwell's 1984 with black humour. It's easy TO read but it's not an EASY read. It covers religion, politics, nationalism, crime, parental and teenage angst, relationships, hidden secrets...something for everyone. It's essentially a very dark novel dealing with big issues, but it's written with such a light touch that you actually find yourself sniggering in several parts.If BAD FAITH doesn't make it onto the shortlists for several prizes then I don't know what will. It certainly gets my vote. Also worth looking at Spider.
