5.0 out of 5 stars Mentally exhausting!, 7 April 2003
Aidan Chambers makes you tie yourself into knots just thinking. He's not a shy writer; he'll plunge in, tackle anything. His writing falls under the 'so-life-like-it's-scary' category; some of the emotions could have come directly from your secret heart.
Dance on my Grave is about homosexual love, but also about so many other things that it is a slice of life, with all its many strands. It is also funny, in a way that The Toll Bridge, Postcards From No man's Land and Now I Know aren't. I got the giggles for ages in some parts, and still laugh out loud when I think of them; the fight!!!!
But the way he writes is out of this world. His books are going to stay with me all my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars my all-time favourite book, 3 Sep 2001
By A Customer
If I had to pick one book as my all-time favourite, it would be this one. Aidan Chambers has a wonderful way with words -- I find myself drawn in as much by his creative way of writing as by the story and characters. I've read the book many times, and have probably bought 10 copies over the years to give to friends.
