A review by hisdarkmaterials
The Godless Boys by Naomi Wood

3.0

What really annoyed me about this was the fact it had SO much potential and Ms. Wood simply didn't live up to it. The plot is excellent, I was gripped. I enjoy the story for the most part and felt Ms. Wood have a fairly decent portrayal of how lonely life can be without community, stuck in the middle of nowhere. How perceived freedoms can be just the opposite. There were a lot of threads put into this novel and I just didn't feel Ms. Wood managed to make a knot out of them.

Do. Not. Get me started on the ending. I detest endings like that. We only really got a bit of Jake's side towards the very end so it was all a bit of a shock and a bit silly for me!
