The way this book makes you feel. Wow. Malorie is certainly a really good author. Sincerely, I wasnt expecting much from it, but it is really an awesome book. Makes you think, makes you rethink, makes you feel bad.

I really enjoyed this book, it was suggested to me by a friend from my book club; and I found it really amazing. Malorie has shown the real life of a teenager, this is such a thought provoking book, defiantly worth reading :)

Every once in a while I feel like reading some YA fiction, and when I went to my small local library in search of some this caught my eye. I’ve been reading a lot of books about parenthood lately (as regular readers will have noticed), exploring literature around it as I explore the reality. Additionally, Malorie Blackman has long been a favourite YA author of mine – if you haven’t read her Noughts And Crosses series you must, regardless of age. Boys Don’t Cry is quite different from both Noughts And Crosses and my experience of parenthood, nevertheless I enjoyed it well enough, albeit largely just as a quick and undemanding read.

Absolutely loved this book!
After reading Malorie Blackman’s Naughts and Crosses I just had to pick this up and once I started reading it on Christmas Day, I didn’t look up for three hours until I had finished it!
When you get a good book it is such an amazing feeling and this book gave me that. I would read it over and over again.
