horsley123 's review for:
Spoilt Creatures
by Amy Twigg
A culty ‘Lord of the Flies’ - a reminder that if you are feeling lost that running off to a commune lead by a cold hearted, monomaniac probably isn’t the answer. Along the lines of last year’s ’The Silence Project’ and Naomi Alderman’s ‘The Power’ this tale debunks the myth that the world would be a lovely place if run by women.
For a debut novel this is a cracking read. Told in the ever popular ‘then and now’ format we know that something awful happens and this knowledge lurks on every page. The ending fell a little flat more me - I wanted more for present day Iris but this is a minor quibble.
