smellbelle 's review for:
A Game for All the Family
by Sophie Hannah
This was an amazing thriller. It captured my attention right from the start and had it until the very end. It's wonderfully written, in the way that it jumps between the here and now and to Ellen's story, with each having it's own particular style, which I imagine is quite difficult.
I was however, a little disappointed with the ending. I was so looking forward to finding out whether Anne was evil or insane or perhaps a little of both. I had wanted to see revealed the exposition of her fantasy world to her family and to the school, this was lacking also. I had thought that the ending could have been fleshed out a lot more, though perhaps the mark of an excellent book is that it leaves you wanting.
I did think that having Justine killing Anne was a little easy, I did like the touch of burying her in the grounds at Speedwell House though, that was very eerie.
All in all, it was fast paced, well written, extraordinarily imaginative and fun to read. I would highly recommend it.
