5.0 out of 5 stars We love Lovegrove, 4 Oct 2006
By A. Lancaster "Adam" (Hertford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Barrington Stoke publishers are producing some excellent books at the moment and Ant God is no exception. Dealing with big issues such as God and beliefs all set under a framework of a quick, relatively easy read James Lovegrove creates a story with the theme at its helm. Where most books will concentrate on dialogue and character development Lovegrove also does this, but allows the story not to driven by these, but by the ideas being represented through the story. This culminates in a story that although a quick read makes the reader think. Think about why these things have been written about and what they mean.

The story is about two boys, Dan and his best friend Jason living just across a railway track from each other. Jason has always had weird and wacky ideas, and will sometimes spend ages just thinking about thinks. Dan is happy to go along with his ideas, even the strangest ones. One day though Jason starts to create an earthquake for a nest of ants and then using a magnifying glass he starts to kill them. From doing this he starts to think that the ants see him as some sort of god that control events on their lives. This leads him into one of his long though processes which he eventually emerges from with a new creation.

Jason has created Truth Glasses. He believes that they are able to show anyone who looks through them the real truth. Dan though feels Jason may have gone too far as these are things that we are not suppose to see, so when he looks in them and sees a large shape in the sky he is not sure what to believe, but will he be able to convince himself and Jason that what they are doing is wrong before its too late?

Lovegrove creates some excellent tension with his use of pathetic fallacy engaging our imaginations in the events that are happening. I would suggest that although this is a quick read it is for students that are mature enough to understand and appreciate the subject matter. So this would be ideal for exemplary Yr 6 readers and above.
