Format:Paperback
I've been sucked into this book last night and all day. It is a brilliant story, brilliantly written. There are loads of striking images that work like magic to bring it to life: "Akeem would dive, his legs whipping tight together and driving him deep. Passengers watched the soles of his feet disappear into the blue. When Akeem re-emerged, the coin would shine in his raised hand."... and..."From where May lay, drops of Saint's blood left a trail across the sky. Until it fell upon her, as red rain." The pace is breakneck. The plot is gripping. There are sound-bites here and there like: "Keep your heart for the love and your head for the hate." The characters do things that are totally unexpected and even shocking and it all works perfectly. This story is really pushed to the edge. It gives the reader a lot to chew over.
It gets really funny in lots of places, like where May sits by Elizabeth for the first time and discovers Elizabeth's special talent, or super-power. There are loads of instances of things people almost think of but never clarify into words, - if that makes sense - one of the things I love best about reading. The sentences are longer and more flowing in Lost Dogs than in the first book, which ties in well with the fact that the three central characters are growing up and becoming more complicated people. In fact, everything that was great about the first book reappears here in honed and intensified form: the pace, the humour, the style of writing, the strong images, characterization, etc etc. Carr writes with gusto.
Can't say enough good stuff about it. Brilliant!

I found this book unputdownable!!!! I went to the book launch of the book and found it very interesting to meet the author of the book and ask him some questions. The detail that went into this book was unbelievable, and the description of the monster was absolutely stunning!!!!I love this book and I can't wait at all for the third book, Deep, Deep Down.
Well Done!!! A Brilliant Book!!!
