The Night Brother by Rosie Garland

2.0

I really did not enjoy this book. Gnome was cartoonishly evil. There were far too many almost-rape scenes in it which were completely jarring as the rest of the novel seemed quite appropriate for 12-14-year-olds to read and it really didn't suit the tone. The rules of the transformations were also unclear. How could the mother become pregnant if she was a man for a few days of the month???? I would not recommend this book to anyone.
