The Godless Boys by Naomi Wood

3.0

I read this because I'd read Mrs Hemingway and adored it. The Godless Boys, however, isn't beautifully written and the characters and plot line isn't very credible - the complete opposite of Mrs Hemingway! It reads very much like a book where a young writer is finding her feet, which I suppose it is. Sad to think, though, that if I'd read this first I wouldn't have bothered with Mrs H. The Northern language is cringeworthy and the Malades gang-speak a weak rip-off of A Clockwork Orange. My advice would be give this a miss and read Mrs Hemingway instead.
