It was a rare cloudless day over Sheffield, at the height of the hottest July in history for what seemed like the third or fourth year running, and the tarmac baked in the rays of a fierce sun. Read the first page

Not much to say about this book except i picked it up thinking it would be a no-goer but then about halfway through it suddenly it introduces something to you that is totaly unexpected and just makes you think, 'why'. but it all ties together quite nicely in the end and slowly underneath the main storyline theres another story in itself trying to push through and slowly you gt a broder picture untill, wham at the end it all hits you at the end.. would recomend for noone younger than 12! (in places quite depressing!)

I first read this book at around the age of 13. Having read through most of the school library, and finding none of the books that interesting or captivating; this book was an exception to the rule, and as an 18 year old now, it's still one of my favourites.
Based upon a group of teenagers in Sheffield; the novel tells their tales in a way that's enthralling, intricate, and capptures the psyche of the characters perfectly. This book is multi-faceted, creating a whole new universe for the reader, which is so realistic you often will imagine you're still in the book hours after reading it.
I personally would whole heartedly recommend this book to anyone between the ages of 13 and 35, and would say to anyone over this age that it's still worth a read.
