Good premise

The story had a good premise but with every chapter it got more nonsensical and the ending sucked.

Making Stepford Kids

Despite an interesting premise and an appealing heroine this book is undone by its silly plot. Abigail is a Scottish teen. Housed in a state facility since the death of her guardian, a commune living peacenik, when Abigail was nine, she has learned that emotional distance is an effective survival technique. Abigail is notified of the death of her mysterious, long lost mother. Her legacy is a sum of money, a letter and an ticket to the United States. Shocked to learn that she has both a father and an older sister, she takes the flight meeting an engaging hairdresser en route. She is introduced to a wealthy LA lifestyle, complete with plastic stepmother and mansion with pool. Her sister is a renegade, involved in a graffiti campaign with a mysterious message. From there the plot devolves into pure silliness involving a corporate/military conspiracy to chemically induce permanent compliance in troubled teens without their knowledge or consent.

Although Abigail is an interesting character, I did not like this book. The plot has holes you could drive a truck through and logic is sorely lacking. Apparently the state home let its inmates come and go as they pleased. Abigail's efforts to procure and successfully use a forged passport were preposterous. That her mother who supposedly sacrificed all to protect her would then send her into danger made no sense whatsoever. It is hard to believe that any tech savvy teen would make the errors this group made. Everyone knows nothing is ever truly deleted from a computer and that you can be traced by your cell phone. The efforts of the corporate cabal were unnecessary. All they really had to do was to send the kids to public school, have them diagnosed and drugged. Problem solved.

The writing is simple enough and there is some drug/alcohol use. Although I did not find it especially exciting, the story moves, with little time for introspection. Abigail will resonate with most teens.

Ladies and Gentlemen, take your seats. The show is about to begin!

Members Reviews:

Sherlock Holmes meets Harry Potter, set in Oliver Twist's world.

Really enjoyed reading this well written and thoroughly entertaining page turner. It's gritty and edgy, while still being something I'd feel comfortable giving to a child. Wild Boy himself is extremely engaging and likable, while still being inherently flawed as a person - a really interesting and infectious protagonist. The author has painted a vivid picture of the victorian landscape, complete with period dialogue that really made me feel like I was there.

Review

Read this with joy with my 11yr old son. Intriguing and mysterious. enjoyed the time period and taught a great lesson about not judging people by their looks.

Freak Show and a Murder Mystery

Premise: Wild Boy is a freak. Born fully covered in long brown hair, he has no future except as a freak show oddity in the circus. When he and a fellow circus star are accused of murder, they must find the real killer to clear their names.

Three adjectives that describe this book: gritty, exciting, memorable

Wild Boy Book Review:

Rob Lloyd Jones has combined some seriously interesting elements in this terrific novel. The main characters of Wild Boy and Clarissa are wonderfully crafted and deliciously complex. The struggles of both will stick with me for a long time - Wild Boy is mocked and abused, relegated to life as an outsider just because of how he looks. How can you view yourself as anything but worthless when people can pay a penny to kick you, and even your guardians call you Monster?

The setting of Victorian London was the perfect backdrop for this gritty story. Our characters tromp through the dark reaches of society - alleys, sewers, circuses, and even The Tower of London. This is no glorified, upper class society. I found it wholly engrossing.

And the mystery? A shadowy group of men is either being murdered or murdering others... or maybe both. Wild Boy and Clarissa solve the case using skill. Wild Boy has terrific powers of observation and deduction. The passages that detail his observations and conclusions are wonderfully written. Think Sherlock Holmes. Clarissa is an acrobat. She scrambles up the sides of buildings and wriggles her way into off-limits areas. Together they make a terrific team.

Overall, this new novel is a must read. It would also be a great introduction to mysteries and/or historical fiction for readers who might, otherwise, shy away from these genres.

Content Appropriate For: Grades 4-7

Great story

Loved this story. Interesting characters and plot. Wild Boy was unexpected and the story kept me interested to the end.

Moved a bit slowly

Wild Boy, born with hair all over his body, was first sent to a desolate orphanage until he was discovered by the circus. Here, he is part of the freak show, until one day he intercepts a letter, talking of a mysterious machine and warning of death.

Overall, I thought the book moved a bit slowly. However, the characters were very interesting and dynamic. I think young teenagers will highly enjoy this book, especially boys.

Ben Elliot does F.E Higgins justice!

I have been looking forward to hearing this for a long time, and wasn't disappointed with it.

Very much liked the fact that it tied in slightly with the first book, The Black Book of Secrets

Publisher's Summary:

Everyone says that Caro is bad ...but Jamie can't help himself. He thinks of her night and day and can't believe that she wants to be his girlfriend. Gorgeous, impulsive and unconventional, she is totally different to all the other girls he knows. His sister, Martha, hates her. Jamie doesn't know why, but there's no way he's going to take any notice of her warnings to stay away from Caro. But as Jamie falls deeper and deeper under her spell, he realises there is more to Caro - much more. There are the times when she disappears and doesn't get in touch, the small scars on her wrists, her talk about revolutions and taking action, not to mention the rumours he hears about the other men in her life.

And then always in the background there is Rob, Jamie's older brother, back from Afghanistan and traumatised after having his leg smashed to bits there. Jamie wants to help him, but Rob seems to be living in a world of his own and is increasingly difficult to reach. With Caro, the summer should have been perfect ...but that isn't how things work out in real life, and Jamie is going to find out the hard way.

This taut psychological drama is the brilliant new novel from acclaimed Celia Rees.

Members Reviews:

Gritty and realistic story with three distinct main characters, beautiful and shocking.

This is Not Forgiveness is darkly beautiful and draws you into this story with three main characters, all with their own voice and all with their own issues.

The opening wasn't what I expected and I needed to know what it was that Jamie couldn't forgive and if I agreed with him. So I began this heart breaking journey into Jamie, Caro and Rob's minds.

While I preferred the views from Jamie, I was drawn to Caro and Rob's stories like a trainwreck that you can't peel your eyes from. This is definitely an issues book, and I think that it is good that the majority of the book is from Jamie because of the perspective that he brings to the story. I didn't dislike being in the other's heads besides the nitpicky fact that when you are in Caro's head, it is in italics, and I don't really like reading in that format. It makes me feel weird. (Or weirder than usual)

I think that adding in those perspectives really just shows how deep their problems are and also gives a frame of reference for where they are coming from. This is a story with a lot of dark elements, and it was quite an adventure getting into the mind of a soldier with ptsd and some of the thoughts from war and dealing with the aftermath.

I think though that the blurb is a little misleading for Caro. It mentions scars on her wrists and that sort of caught me because that is more of the issues that I prefer to read about, but I didn't pay attention to the rest. She is into politics and making a statement, and that really is the forefront for her. She does have issues, and cutting is mentioned, but not in how I thought it would be.

Rob really broke my heart. The issues that he had to work with and all of the emotions he felt that he didn't really know what to do with. I think it is so important for me to read about and get a glimpse into what our soldiers to and how hard it is to adjust to being back.

Let me just warn you, in case you can't tell from the description, or if you don't get the sense from the first few pages... This story doesn't have a happily ever after.
