Brilliant. I've been looking forward to this for ages and whipped through it in just a few hours.
Great dystopian story set in the 1950s, with overtones of Stalinist regimes but in England. Loved the little illustrations throughout at the start of each chapter, a lite story in themselves.
Very brutal in parts for the age range it's written for, but very appropriate to the context.
Standish was a good narrator, his malapropisms charming, his story compelling. Very sad ending but nothing you hadn't expected. Hope this wins more awards.
