Loved it !,

This review is from: How it Works (Paperback)
Having read this book, I found it uplifting without being saccharine. It deals with the potentially off-putting concept of angels in a balanced and interesting way that will appeal particularly to teenage boys. The narrative is also well-paced and engaging.

Very strong language from page one !!,

This review is from: How it Works (Paperback)
Bought this book for a 12-year old on the strength of a review in the children's section of the Guardian. Within the first three pages were most of the swear words I could think of I'm no prude but this was over the top. My son said the book was "OK but a bit rude". I guess there is a huge difference between a 12 year old and a 15 year old. I would not recommend this book for anyone under about 14 or 15.
